I'll Paint My Life

I'll paint my life, splendid golden hues
Ones that enrich and stimulate laughter
Adding iridescent touches of wonder
Using streaks of dazzling violet blues

I'll use colors subdued, or vibrantly hued
Colors of expectancy, joy and mystery
Colors that stimulate and excite me
Making me feel exhilarated and wooed

The midnight blue-blacks! The pure cold whites!
Colors and tints that delight and surprise
Colors that shimmer amidst night skies
Like breathtaking sights of The Northern Lights

I'll paint my life, a misty muted blue
Blessed and silver sparkled, through and through
A bit of vibrant red or zesty orange will do
I'll paint a lifetime of beauty and happiness too

Yes, Dear Gwen,

Life should be painted as such, in total freedom of expression from the heart. Each of us is an Artist painting the canvas of our own lives.

Love & Light,
Joseph

If only we were all brave enough to grasp the paint brush of life and dive into the paints. Taking responsibility for your own life is a huge step forward for all people. Because some where along the way someone else will see the canvas of our own lives and hopefully find enough colors to brave out and paint their own.

With this lovely closing line...
"I'll paint a lifetime of beauty and happiness too"... a wise wonderful masterpiece brought
an arrow to be followed to the land of fulfilment. "I'll Paint My Life" glows with its multi colors of life and wisdom.

I salute You, Sublime Poet!
