Painting Life

You have led me beside the azure seas to see the crimson coral of the fallen leaves so like the rainbows that exist within our kin the colors that lay upon our souls within There drifts our souls in the shades and hue where we slip the streams of the colors blue or light their soul in softest shades of yellow when in company as delighted companions fellow Or quietly lay in shells still and tinged of pale grey like the clouds that hang within the low of day or to climb the hills the foliage with its glistening sheen are painted trees and meadows in the depths of green Here in life the blooms that every spectrum see and offered us its view the veneer of eternity and not so transparent the crystals of our glass and our lives the shadows of pigments cast The cosmetic gloss that we can wear like makeup that dyes the actions which our souls we take up some like varnish are just cover for what is dull like the iron and the steel that contains our hull But the tints that wash and stain our soil can be the colors swirling within the gleams of oil where they run together as the eddy's in the water there each soul its colors is contained a single star COPYRIGHT © 2013 C Michael Miller via Duboff Law Group LLC
