I sit in my room and turn off the lights. Windows draped with black out curtains. My eyes are wide open, but it doesn’t make a difference. It’s the same color as when they’re closed. Most people like their canvases to be white.. But I draw better in the dark. I speak and let the words surround me until I can see them I allow them to join together in holy matrimony, I listen to them say their vows to one another, pledging the sweetest allegiance to themselves They conceive pictures that I could have never fathomed Paintings I could never draw I watch them dance all around me Vibrant So vibrant I want to touch them, but I let them be instead I can’t believe they once lived inside of me This is love This is existence This is creation I am Mother Nature.
