Find myself in colour.

About fear, losing oneself, confrontation, and colour. My journey into this painting.

By Amit ShahPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The red blended with the blue.

Purple silence took me to the sky in full view.

The clouds past through, the shades of grey overcame me.

Holding back and prepared to take my journey,

Unprepared to confront myself.

Unprepared to release the mess, It's a test for the truth.

Space filled with my brush,

Colours, blended into mush. Trust.

I let go, the colours flow.

Flicking purple green and yellow.

Everything goes. Everything flows.

And I see myself.

My fear is unleashed, I feel complete.

The end.

About the Creator

Amit Shah

I am supposed to be working, but instead I am following my intuition and writing what comes to mind. Following mind over brain, heart over calendar and writing words instead of measuring data. I hope my distraction brings you meaning.
