the painting of her possibilities
 
 

    She deals with emotion, frustration, and the beauty of thought.
    Here come the waves,
    To blend together her dreams and reality.
 
 

The conquering of the blackest fear leading to a spectrum of life.
Red lips opening to show white teeth.
The shades of nudity.
A kaleidoscopic journey into someone’s mind as well as her own.
 
 

    Reflection.
 
 

A still room.
A simple smile
Trembling hands.
 
 

     All blend together,
     Fading into an inviting shade of life to lose herself in.
     She can paint an endless horizon.
     I deal in colors.
