masterpiece

water color paintings 

birthed 

through streaky

ribbons

wet and bright,

a mess of hues

led to completion

through a journey

of liquid squirming

and spreading

directionless

tints and tones

erratically

searching

the primal effort 

to take up space

all of it 

happening

whether we choose

to acknowledge or not

reminding me of feelings

and their pursuit for

peace,

demanding their proper

place

because they

were created 

to know their purpose:

to roam and leak out

filling in the corners

and mixing about

shapes inside of

insight contained

with madness

and brilliance

until they settle

and make sense

becoming beautiful

productions

the ability

to allow is

hardwired into

all of us so we

learn what is real

learn how to feel

learn where to know

learn when to grow

learn why we go

we are all feelings artists

take a deep breath

and cultivate your

process before the

palette dries out

each day

is a new brush

each feeling

a new stroke

let it flow

curate your collection

do the work 

and let it soak

your life is your

finest masterpiece
