Original Oil by Sam Gatelaro

Paint your soul
on a dark canvas.
See the colors!
Are they real?

Do they show
who you are?
Or who you want to be?

Write your name
across the sky.
Punctuate it with a star!
Let the memory
live forever in your heart.

Live your greatest fantasy.
Boldly stand
for what you treasure.
Fear is only an illusion.
Love is given
without measure.

Carmen Colombo
