all i have today are words.
my heart is full of them.
some are jagged, sharp, and frightening.
others rush in with a sweet balm to soothe.
life is so short.
and people are not always dependable.
even when the people is me.
today i am working through it all.
paint is my answer.
pouring out my words
or pouring out my nightmares
paint will be the balm.




Thank God for paint and brushes - the best of balms.
