Choices

The walls are white and,

blank and bare,

Like an empty mind.

No color,

No character.

 

She lifts her brush

And in one stroke,

Starts a

new project.

Burgundy streaks,

Breaking the barrier of creativity.

Rising and falling,

Brush in hand,

It is,

Rising and falling,

Painting a dark picture.

 

It is no longer bare,

No white in sight,

The walls stained red,

The floor the color of sand.

 

First in is happiness,

Bright yellow tulips,

In a pale pink pot.

Then regret,

Dark blue loveseats,

and a lavender rug.

Third is simplicity,

the easy way out.

Black and white

sketches

In ash grey frames

Hang on the wall.

 

She sets down her brush,

her hammer and nail.

Thinking,

"Perfect, just perfect"

and makes her choice

For the better.
