The Garden
The greens, the blues, the yellows,
How beautifully the mix together.
I strike the canvas with the soft bristles of my brush.
Smooth, intricate strokes.
I reveal the garden on a hot and bright day.
I try to enter the painting,
But I am rejected.
Please, just let me into the peaceful garden.
I want to feel like soft blades of grass on my fingers.
I want to feel the warm sun kiss my skin.
I want to feel the weak wind strike my body,
Like my brush strikes the canvas.
Peace. I want to feel peace.
Charles, let me into your garden please.
Despite the Summer air, I am forever cold.
Surrounded by brisk darkness.
In fact, I am drowning in it.
Charles, pull me into your garden please.
No? You cannot?
Fine.
I must escape the darkness somehow.
You cannot pull me into your garden,
So I will pull the trigger.
BAM!
The whites, the golds, the silvers.
How beautifully they mix together.
There are many gardens here.
I have found my peace.
