Today was a red day

So when I picked up

My beautiful ultramarine blue

My fingers squeezed

Much too hard on the tube.

The paint hit the palette

With such violent force

Then mixed with other colors

Making mud. Vivid hues lost.

Picture of love unpainted.

Tears streamed down my face

Oh God, forgive me!

How can I undo

That which is done?

Gently I touched

My colors of love

Hoping they would reappear.

Oh wretch that I am!

Words all seem so inadequate

As I stare at the empty tube.

I am sorry.
