I want to paint…

 I want to paint –

the black background bustling with peppered silver stars;

the picturesque, perfect sky setting in the view;

and a bottle pouring perfectly into the child’s mouth.

I want to paint-

the waterfall pouring into the river like a water tap overflowing the sink;

a pointy pencil transporting the words on to the sheet like the future ahead of me;

and clouds making interesting shapes like a toddler’s first time drawing.

I want to paint-

the sight of a child’s first step on the beach;

the first touch of a seashell from a toddler who never went to the beach;

and a baby’s first scent of a flower in the garden.
