my thirst for painting
how do I extinguish my thirst for painting?
I wake up thinking of this hobby
and I go to sleep exhausted and happy from it
how do I quench my creative thirst?
I pick up a paint brush and swirl colors on canvas
why would I want to snuff out this passion?
Maybe because I am getting nothing else done?
This love is not something I can stub out or snuff.
To terminate my painting would be to terminate me.
It has become more than a hobby.
Less passion than obsession
But it feeds my essence.
There is no reason or way to stop
and so I paint
