A new crayon, a new song

I often feel that every day
my mood is a different coloured crayon
or a different song

Perhaps that's why art is so beautiful
or ugly
and dependant upon both artist and audience
for its interpretation

And isn't music just fantastic
or horrible
depending upon artist and audience?

Some days I want to be all the colours
in the rainbow
in the box of 64 Crayolas
in the gumball machine

Other days I just feel
a little bit country
a bit of James Taylor, Carly Simon
or George Gershwin, or Rachmaninoff

But how can I stop my feelings
from controlling my actions?
Choose a different colour?
Change the record?

Oh, were it that easy...
It would not be life
Must always remember, though life is tough
God is good!
