It’s the way my heart leaps whenever I take a seat
Sometimes I hold my breath
watching layers of color spread from left to right
anticipating what direction my mind will go this time
*
Painting began as a hobby
Lately it’s become an art that I love
Our relationship blossomed over the past few years
I’ve clung to it when I had nothing else
*
Falling in love was easy
once I found something that soothes me
It allows me to work without any limits
Each second we spend together only strengthens our relationship
*
Some days I venture off on other adventures
like writing and living life
But the one thing I know for certain
is that I’ll always come back to painting
It waits around patiently
for it knows I will never leave
