The Brush


The brush, the brush
Although quite lush
An investigator of fathomable trust
A friend sometimes, a thirsty seed
A director of tangible dreams may be
A breath within, a painter's gift
The counselor for a chemical split
In the genes, a fractured seam
Often breach within a dream
In the mind, out a scream
It hides within so delicately
I brush the brush
A partner of mine
A skin o'er the veins of time.
