The Search

Gentle stroke
Back and forth
Hands sweep the paper

Swish swish
Scratch scratch
Light and hard lines

Glance up
Look down
See a little detail

Reach in
Peek in
Where has it gone?

Grab it
Seize it
Peek around again

Which color?
What color?
There are so many.

That color
That point
Has these colors

Swish swish
Scratch scratch
The paper took the like

Pigments covered
Pigments gained
This ends the search

Glance up
Look down
They are now the same.
