Words Are the Paint

Ideas and images in the mind burst forth in words. 
Descriptions are the paint on the paper or screen. 
Vivid hues in the jars. blended to create a feeling. 
Finding just the right tint can be daunting. 
But when it finally flows like paint on canvas, 
It picks up tempo and takes on a personality of it's own. 
it takes over your hand and guides it to bring forth the images. 
In a poetic or story telling form. It's a wonderful feeling.
