worn by life
drained of strength
and energy
fatigued to the point
of exhaustion

eventually I find
some peace of mind
sometimes after
I go haywire
upside-down

and sideways
seeing nothing but red
skies outside the hole
that is my window
in a watercolor scene

I gather enough of my strength
to hold back the walls
I'm lost between
finding empty canvas
at the end of life

where is that artist
that one lived
in my mind
painting old memories
before they fade away
