7 Shades Of Me

My palate fell to the floor
Where colors once individual
Contained
Began moving
Unbound to their placements
Dawdling at first
Unsure of their freedom
Waiting for the brush
To sweep them back into place
Until they realized the prospect of their escape
Leaving their solitary paths
Joining the herd
As it stormed across the plain of creation.

Kicking up a jubilant dust
Their vivid display
Became dense and muddy
Akin to my emotional state
As thoughts of starting over again re-entered;
Muddled yet concise
I dipped into their strange new hue
Puddled at the base of my resolve
Painting ecstasy
one stroke at a time...
