i'm a little world-weary

i love the way
the water rushes
its sound fills me with delight
(the painter strokes with brushes
shrouding the sun, murdering the light)

i love the way
the trees stretch high to the sky
their company makes me happy
(their bark is darker, i cannot deny
the colors mixed together -- oh, how crappy)

i love the way
the mountains are so big
but they say so little
(the painter bristles and downs a swig
with curling digits that quake, shake and are brittle)

i love the way
the house is so close
to the rushing waves, it's so neat
(upon the easel, the painter sleeps, and most
of their nightmares are a common treat)
