water colour


ever feel like you're living inside a watercolour painting? It's faded hues are ever changing, absent of emotion. 

the grind, the hustle, the crowds, the river... the miskeen from the lanes     

ever feel like you're living inside a watercolour painting? Vague as anything? The elders are there, childhood friends, the market sellers and the canteen folk, wanderers, your beaming local Councillor.

the morning light spread, the smell of the bread factory fills the air.... 

can you smell inside a watercolour? 

 painted, even brush strokes, made marks, mixed colours, blue and yellow makes green....

they hold hands, the elders from the Island, they hold hands and sing a prayer

we danced together all afternoon, to songs I only heard in a distant black and white dream. shrouded. 

maybe it's the 6am's, meditating by the empty lake, in the empty grounds of the asylum

maybe it's the sunrises

those watercolour sunrises 

and the unearthly peace of living in a peopleless world

everyone has left the planet, my dreaming keep me busy, my imagination runs wild - some days, I lag behind.... the bittersweet loneliness of living - of a life, without reigns

it's the end of the world

wash it away..... let the colours bleed
