I want to paint

I want to paint

On those dark cold nights

When the long summer days seem far away

I want to paint the sky light blue

Paint white cotton clouds

The bright sun shining through

When the sun sets

I would paint a sunset

Splurges of golden glitter

Splashes of deep red

A slice of orange

My painted sunset

I would paint the dark rough seas

The deep blue rivers

I would paint them sparkly greenery blue

The rivers and seas calm waves of white

With boats and birds

The glistening paint

The seas and rivers summer rains

Paint ducks and ducklings by the riverside

I would paint the deep black stone rocks

The sandy sands painted yellow

I feel the sand

The wind blows some in my eyes

The rock pools

I would paint the crabs and small fish

I would paint so many colours

I would paint the bare trees with green leaves

The rich green grass

I would paint each blade of grass

Different shades

You could feel each blade between your toes

Luscious meadows

I would paint bluebells and daffodils

The fruit trees bearing red and green apples

I would paint

The multicoloured fields

The green hedges that divide

The farmers fields

I would paint the tractors deep red

I would paint my mind and thoughts

I would paint a rainbow

I love the feel of rain upon my face

The rainbow the miracle

I would paint my pain away

I would rub it out of my sight

Only paint a beautiful calm and structured life

In those dark and short days

I will paint with many colours of paint

I will paint each stroke

I will remember spring and summer

The heat

My sunglasses as the sun catches my eyes

The longer days of light

My mind and thoughts now bright
