Fixation

Color, Sound, Life

By Garner WangPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Fixation

Twisted and spiraled

Streams of light

Illuminating reflections

Recorded by sight

Synesthetic eyes

Finding the melodic taste

Of beauty in life’s delight

The artistry in pain

I am misunderstood

The reason I change

With a brushing stroke

I color my name

With sounds of music

I reason my purpose

The yellow, the Blues

The laughter in the hurt was

To bring a smile

Healing the tears of red

Purpling away my fears

I proudly embrace

Who I am and who I was

How I will and who I’ll be

Without rosey glasses

And blissful fantasy

I choose to pick

The chaotic brush

Swinging heaven low

With lightest touch, yet heaviest blow
