Watercolors
It is painted in water colors
light blue spreading out the farthest
then comes light splotches of white
you can almost see the brush move
as pink and yellow are added
orange touches the bottom
blending with a rich red
baby blue is the backdrop
then comes the pink
its bottomed out by orange
above it lies a thin layer of purpilsh
which mixes with a darker blue than the rest
all which make up the one scene
slowly a green ridge is added to the set
dark and light mixing with just a few tints of black here and there
brown mixed in, adding to the life
a few touches of orange and reds
add color to what appears now to be trees
standing tall, proud on the mountain side
above it the mixed colors lay on the pallet
and a rosey outline of the ridge
very small you can see
a road rising over the hills
yellows mixed in to the side of it
to make the bittersweet grass
just a tiny line
it could be a river
except that it is black, or maybe dark brown
a dirt road, the only one around
paint smudges on the painters white sleeve
turn your head, to see who it may be
this amazing artist who made such life
come alive in with this color
peek, take just a peek
than look back to see, what else he had added
and allowed you to watch as he worked
-you peek and see He
the creator
do you see?
He
who do you think he may be?
now be good, and look to see his newest additions
whats that in the distance?
oh! it is a person i see
two people, you see?
it is you and me!
we blink, unable not to hold it back any longer
our eyes burning from the stare
and open them back up to look up
hoping to give the artist a curious look
but instead see
the water colors in the sky
that he painted above you and me
