Painting with my Soul

A burst of indistinguishable colours

Beam up from my chest

Indescribable, and new

Replacing the old, and decrepit

Ripping and burning

Void and space

Greedily hunting down the source

To become the new light

To enable me

To paint all I see

With my own colours

From my own palette

Stokes Croft

God breakdances on the cold, hard, church floors

The worshippers clap

And the priests exclaim

Kicking, spinning, and alive

Two sets of footprints

Left in the sand

Stretching on and on

Fading from view

The gentle waves

Filling in with their paintbrushes

Painting over everything they touch

With shells, seaweed and life

A billion eyes watch from their TVs

Experiencing life behind a screen

I sip my cider and sigh:

“Life is only as hard as I make it.

It’s actually quite easy, I only have to breathe.”

The Helmsman

The cold bites into my flesh

The rain gives rise to complaint

My soul, the helmsman of a ship

Falling and rising above the many waves of thoughts

Some high and spiteful

Spitting froth, stinging my eyes

Some low and deceitful

Lulling me to the reefs

Yet still I hold onto the wheel

Guiding the ship so that it does not sink

Music Everywhere

The falling of raindrops

Causes the piano notes to play

When I’m outside in the forests

And it’s raining

It’s the most beautiful sound

You could ever imagine
