Blank Wall Poem by Lau Jane

In my house i sit and stare
of a blank wall my room is so bare

I pick up a paintbrush and clear my mind
what comes out im amazed to find

the colours i see the sound of the paint
the swish and swash, it looks so great

i paint mountains with peaks
and fish swim in creeks

you can almost smell the flowers
in the meadows and rain showers

i paint a family so happy and free
having a picnic under an oak tree

they chase each other and run a muck
the father caught the son, oh what luck


i wake up from my dream, smile so big
untill i realise oh so quick

that cant be my family where torn apart
what a day, what a great start

i stare at the wall, it still looks bare
it stares at me so un aware

of the thoughts i had to change its life
i will get some paint and start tonight.
