Fingerpainting Day


Photo by Carrie Thomas

Today is a fingerpainting day.
It's too cold and rainy to go outside and play.
It's a day to bake cupcakes and make paper airplanes,
to watch the droplets collecting on the window panes.

Today is the morning after
when the booze and laughter has faded
It still echoes in your ears and bleeds through
all that you hear.

Today is the day that I will pull myself together
despite headaches and bad weather.

Yes, today is a fingerpainting day.

Is this a song?

Not a song, just a stream of thought. Sometimes they become songs, so we'll see.

And now a word from our sponsor

Without shameless begging, independent musicians would surely starve.
