Paint me a picture

Paint me a world

Let us dance on words

Of love, beauty and joy

Of fantasy, power and glory

Let us ride the waves or wind

Or both

Fly, swim or dive;

A world of our own

To love, to share

Paint me something beautiful,

Something different

With green, blue, orange and gold

Paint me an eagle or a griffin

Paint me a friend,

A world of my own,

A retreat, a realm

Paint and I’ll move in

Amidst the strokes of your brush,

And colours of your palette

Paint me a rose or a lake,

Paint me butterfly or a tree,

Paint me something to enjoy,

To put a smile on my face

And let me live again
