    Portrait of a Lady on Fire

    ★★★★★

    The colors of the painting speak to me,
    They speak of peace and love so pure and true. 
    And speak they do, yet all that I can see
    Are brushstrokes that are solely made of you. 

    But how could I forget the sound of red,
    Or crisp blue water flowing deep in me?
    Yet green evokes, as all that can be said,
    A growth eternal—more than I can be. 

    The painting follows me down every street;
    I hear its whispers…

    The natural world is one we can’t control,
    yet we must heed the songbirds of the earth. 
    If songbirds fail to nourish the weary soul,
    then music is the bird that proves its worth. 

    If we collapse and rise in the same place,

    Every time I watch this it strikes a different nerve. I’ve seen this 6 times this year and it’s a different experience every time and I love it. Hate to be the guy that says this is one of the best ever but this is one of the best ever. Hate to be the guy that says Mulholland Drive is my favorite bc ofc it is but Mulholland Drive is my favorite.
