INSIDE MY PAINTING

I’m finished, this is my masterpiece as seen through my eyes,

I’ve created many scenes between those dreams inside me.

Step inside my painting to a world of hopes and dreams,

Colors beautiful, whatever is your choice, a favorite one indeed.

Inside my painting live scenes of forests and woods of fantasy,

Lakes and rivers filled with water where swimming and drinking are safe.

Painted are places of love and happiness that have slowly disappeared,

Inside my painting, you’ll find hills to climb, get lost in your own mind.

Can you imagine mountains standing so tall without a layer of dirt above,

Not in my painting will you ever find this, stay as long as you like.

With a brush in my hand, the world is mine to mold and create a better place,

Close these tired, everyday eyes and go away to a painted land and sky.
