Painter's Dilemma

This empty canvas

This tray full of paint

Every color known to mankind

Still nothing

Not an idea

Nor a story to conceal

As I am pondering on the most creative inkling

A loud, boisterious sound hampers my progress

I Whirled around and saw there was nothing in my

Perspective that exists to make this sound

So I continued, Then again I hear the same sound

This time louder and louder bouncing threw my ear drums

The sound had stolen my attention, I twisted around again

This time I see an odd speck of light creeping threw my door way

Being as I am a curious human being

I open the door wider to find the source of this tedious noise

Suddenly I was blinded by this bright, luminous light

After Regaining my sense of sight

I became overwhelmed with zeal

All I could see was a bright, bucolic picturesque

So new and volminous, it in some sense scared me

Where was I?

Where had I gone?

What was the sound?

How did I get here? 

Now overwhelmed with fear

I spinned around to run back into my old, rustic cache

It was gone

No more did it exist

Now my heart was racing

And this beautiful picturesque had become dark and lugubrious

I was frightned by this whole experience but for some reason something beckoned me

Maybe the aroma of jasmine and cinnamon or the sudden change from

Darkness to blue birds caroling threw the sky.

 As the birds caroled

Warm water splashed gently over my feet

Frightening me

The beauty of the tangy orange sunset fading into the distance

They landscape so euphoric

It’s simply unfathomable  

The air so thick and humid

The laughter echoing into silent silhouettes

Confusion filled my mind

My doubts and restless thoughts consuming me

How could this be possible such beauty, such essence?

The questions which I would always have the answers for know

Struck me with misunderstanding

Leaving me helpless and ignorant

Tears fill my eyes I fill like a helpless child who is lost  

How could I enjoy this infinite beauty?

The sunset sets and I’m wondering around like a lost puppy

Breathing heavily my mouth closed only releasing little pieces of air that sounds like

Soft whimpers

the sun ceased finally

and the moon ascending

every star aligned perfectly in the night sky

i slop to my knees

then landing  on my butt

my body falling aimlessly as if i were made of paper

or if i were full of nothing

as i lay on the dirt

my body giving out

my pulse resting

my mind wondering

i can hardly keeep my eyes open

my eyes slamming shut

suddenly my eyes are ripped back open

but know i was encountering a different demon

i was awaken

the extreme cold

frost had built up on my clothes

bumps filling my skin

the scenery had changed once again

the sky icy and mysterious

but this was different

the sky begin to play a scene

every memeory every thought

playing across the sky like a movie

the memories and thoughts seemed much familiar

i was startled by this scene

it was me

my life my thoughts my life

i know now what has happened

i been imprisoned in my own mind

my thoughts changing like the seasons
