Write Your Name

Paint the world of words so bright

Brush the canvas with pure delight

Be the rainbow coming out of a storm

The sunrise of a beautiful morn


Paint the world as you would wish

For what is written expresses it

Hearts maybe black or blue

A bright smile colors I love you


Paint it as a blind man sees

Hear it as the deaf conceives

Blank spaces upon your walls

Interpretations are meant for all


Paint the world and let it be

You are you and I am me

No left,right or middle lanes

Colors are one and the same…write your name

I love this Arturo ... Paint it as a blind man sees.... Yes there is so much to put on a blank canvas, and anything is possible . It is ones private arena where there are no rules, just ones imagination and intention ... A beautiful endless infinite realm of possibilities. I am a painter and it touched me . Thank you .

It's a wonderful place to be...being one with eternity..dipping into ever changing colors, like a brush on a canvas...

Like Connie, I am FAVINg this one! Cannot see the video on my version of the iPad. However, a plain text works best for me. I only want to "be with" the poem and the poet to carry me into a journey into their souls. I liked.." be the rainbow out of te storm!" Panagiota xx
