The Paintbrush

High in the sky, buried among the clouds
Warmth carried on the breeze
Painted vibrant hues of joy
Heavier, clouds grow, grey
No matter, high above is play
Sinking, unnoticed, heavy raindrops fall
Firm ground, jumping, shorter, louder
Climbing, reaching for the sky, no problem
Red paintbrush growing, covering, blinding
Kicking, screaming, prickly wind, hit in the face
Plant a seed, grow a flower, call for the rain, louder, louder
Still to jump, still to fall, forgotten
Puddles, flooding, sinking, take a deep breath
Red and blue swirl together, hard hit, swim, swim
Stay afloat, heavier, heavier, deeper, deeper, kicking harder
Sun shining, hard earth, sun gone, darkness
Yellow paintbrush, blinking, running, smiling, gone
Polkadots in the dark, moon, beautiful flowers
Pick them, smell them, dying, dead
Morning sun, shining, showing
Puddles to jump in, kicking, pause, laughing
Raining, wet, flowers grow, trees climb
See the clouds, touch the clouds, fall
Pick up a paintbrush, dot the sky
Swirling the colours, shining, rainbows
Singing, floating, here comes the wind, warm to the skin
Still the darkness, never forgotten
Remember the paintbrush, always keep going
