No one knows what I've seen
Through the color coded palette of my dreams
Only I know
What colors are on the palette
My dreams
They splash colors onto it to make a Vincent Van Gogh
But evaporate almost as soon as they came
So i took a canvas
And evertime I dreamed
I splashed the colors on it
To immortalize it forever
My most recent dream
Is one of the sun
The sky was a bright orange as the sun crested the hill and sent it burning rays into the atmosphere
The trees
Welcomed it
The grass
Welcomed it
The animals
Welcomed it
Well, most of them at least
And there I stood
Welcoming it
Knowing it marked the start of a new chapter in my story
A new chapter to fill with love
Or possibly betrayal
I took the rays into my skin and let them warm me
Just a bit
Not too much
I stood back to look at my Van Gogh
It was just as i described it to you
Ive had other Van Goghs as well
A starry night scene, stamped into place over a mountain
A waterfall trying to teach me to go with the flow and inevitably succeeding
It taught me
To not be tense
Just go with whats happening in your life
And you will be happier overall
You know, I really liked that waterfall
All these Van Goghs
Stamped onto the canvas
The canvas
Nailed into the walls of my room
Reminding me of my color palette daily
Adding one new one each day
Looking over them at night
I have learned much from these Van Goghs
To let go
No matter how hard it may be to do so
To appreciate the beautiful things in life
To not always hate them just cause they are beautiful
To love what is given to us
And not take it for granted
I have learned all these things
From the color palette of my dreams
