I wish my words were colors
Swaths of blues and green
Painting images on the page
Of things you’ve never seen
Showing for a moment, what it feels like to be me.
I wish my words were colors
Hues of orange and red.
Depicting feelings and concerns,
Things otherwise left unsaid.
Telling for a moment, the thoughts that are in my head.
But, you see, I AM an artist
Painting pictures in YOUR mind
Using the colors of your own memories
Trusting there was a place and time
You did feel like me and see the things I’ve seen
Painted in oranges & reds, blues & greens
And if not…maybe my words can help you be the things you otherwise wouldn’t be.
