Refrain 

Paint the sky a hue that you have never seen. 
Paint a cave and sit with your own darkness. 
Paint a wave and ride it to the sun. 

Paint with your fingers, toes. Nose. Suppose your body is a brush. 
                                    Hush. 
Paint the silence. 

Paint the pure white spaces in between. 
Paint the clacked-black angered zen, and then 
Paint the poem.

A little repetition for dVerse. Come play.

    I love this! It dances.

    Paint the pure white spaces in between.”
