The Painter and the Writer

Folder: 
2016

When the painter sees glitter

that’s all she can paint

And the hills are alive

with the colors inside.


When the painter sees darkness

that’s all she can paint

And the hills crash to earth

without the universe making a sound.

 

When the writer sees laughter

that’s all she can write

the chaos all around her

swallowing her up

 

When the writer sees living

that’s all she can write

And the question unfolds

to reveal a cold hard truth

 

but sometimes living is what the world

needs to hear.

And when the writer sees the painter

Ink and canvas blend to life
And when the painter sees the writer
Art becomes the rhyme


"But sometimes living is what the world needs to hear"
Than line has all the power in this poem. Beautifully, written.
