Paint my world in lovely colors
bursting boldly beyond borders
spilling over calm and rage
dripping slowly off the page
Paint my world in giant letters
giant figures, giant grounds
Paint my world so as I look
about it I can hear the sounds
Paint it brillant
Paint it stunning
Paint it sudden
Paint it cunning
Let the work both prowl and prey
let the work discover me
let the work be effortless
let the work be fully met
Let every color, let it free
Pour the grace that's given me
Fill the cracks and fill the pores
beget the painting open doors
Free the captive mind run dry
be that thing that catches cries
let the tears stream from the eyes
and mix in with the painting's rise
Paint my world discovery
paint my world so I may see
Dash the brush about the air
Let not the stroke remain impaired
Paint the world and paint the heavenlies
Fingers, hearts, and minds in revelry
Little laughters spring up suddenly
happy faces roundly clammering
Paint my world I ask, I pray
paint my world entirely
from this life I'll pass away
but make sure that Your colors stay
Paint my world discovered

Love the poem. Makes me wanna go out and read it at a poetry slam. I'll have to work on the public speaking nerves.
Sisterlocd,
Thank you. I was so admiring some of the new layouts of other bloggers, I felt the desire to change mine, too. Thank you for reading and commenting on the poem, too. God gives me a lot of stuff. He is good.
Goodnapps,
Thank you for your comments. It is indeed encouraging to know that someone would want to get on the stage and read poetry let alone some work of mine. Get the nerves on up, sister... I hope you find a reading soon. Do let me know how it goes... You will do great!
