I've seen the sky too many times Drawn enough clouds Birds and the sun I imbued the horizons clearly With ultramarine dye. Each and every stroke gives life And when I blend It diminished the purpose All that's left is a colored canvas. I too was praised by my craft I'm not even proud of While they see beauty I see errors. Behold, my next masterpiece. It was then I realized I don't enjoy colors I paint with no purpose.

I Painted
I've seen the sky too many times Drawn enough clouds Birds and the sun I imbued the horizons clearly With ultramarine dye. Each and every stroke gives life And when I blend It diminished the purpose All that's left is a colored canvas. I too was praised by my craft I'm not even proud of While they see beauty I see errors. Behold, my next masterpiece. It was then I realized I don't enjoy colors I paint with no purpose.
First of February.
