Brush. An object yes. Also an expression.
Where does this word take you?
So many different types of brushes, while my first thought was a hair brush, a hair brush is something I don’t actually use, given my curly, unruly hair!
If you would like to share an hour that explores poems and words, and opens up and expands ideas, we’d love you to join in with our discussions.
Next week’s word is ‘carpet’.
Hope to see you there.

Brush Fire
There was that moment
when your lips brushed mine
Then the tips of your fingers
travelled down my spine
Thoughts disappearing
Senses overreaching
Time suspended
Sounds of our breathing
like leaves on the wind
silent unless you’re listening
To this brush fire of intimacy

I’d Rather Be a Big Brush
What type of brush would you like to be?
I would rather be a big one
Then paint a picture with all my strength and confidence
You might say
But if it’s a big brush
When you make a mistake
It would be harder to take a remedial action
I know,
But there’s an old Chinese saying
车到山前必有路
Meaning when we get to the mountain, there’ll be a way through
If we always want to play safe and think of a backup plan
Our stories won’t be as bold and bright
I want to experience life and live full
So, painting freely with my character has become my motto.

A Brush with Time
Our life is but a brief encounter
A channel for evolution
There is no race
We just hold the space
Decide how to embrace
The moments we face
We have a bit of a say
In the way things flow
Up to us though
How the story goes
What we choose
What we lose
As we brush past
This moment in time
And then in a blink
We are obsolete
