Dabs

Dribble my dabs
Color on canvas

Thoughts I forgot
Spill onto the frame

Dab here splash there
Life’s hidden desires

Come on the page
Painting my picture

Hope it’s not too dark
Wisp of a thought

Dab my brush again
Thorns and splinters

I’m reborn again
Touch of me
Framed for all to see

Phoenix rising
Out of charcoal ash

Put pastel on my heart
Blood red in the night

A picture anyone could draw
Only if it’s in their whole being
Palate of life is what it’s all about
