You painted
outside the
lines of me
once
with brilliant colors
and soft hues
gentle brush
silken bristles
dipped in
Hope
flowed across
my essence
with a
searing stain
settling soft
sunset on
a hill
senses swim
sensual
feeling
touching
hearing
seeing
scent
of happy
lingers
above my
canvas
flowing
watercolors
onto my
heart
indelible
stain

You were there tonight. I heard a third part harmony when there isn't a third singer. The power, the clarity rose up to and through the high ceiling and up towards the heavens. The heart of the Word beating, pumping faith through surprised veins, the rhythm surging past earthly boundaries.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

Itβs great to get messy creative let the juices flow. You feel that in this piece as wellπ
The form of this poem is as a drop of colorful paint dripping down a canvas. Great job!
