Colors

Colors bloom for love of light

And never in the silence of this night

A petal plucked, withering grey

Painted with all i wish i could say

But words grieve for lack of light

Especially in the silence of this night

Opaque, grating chalk on slate

I shrivel and i suffocate

Where can i find this garden of light?

When i’m lost and wandering in this night?

Alone, cold, shivering, confused, so scared

Searching for crystal glass with my soul bared

Prisms are strokes of crystal light

Small orbs of hope in this hopeless night

Dodging the darkness, tick of time

Pushing each minute until brightness chimes

I feel the crystal orb with its guiding light

Waving away the sorrows of this night

But scars etched still need time to heal

And my heart the dark will continue to steal

I breathe in the smell of this new light

And wait for the onset of the night

To bleed into the day with its harsh brush

Highlighting pain with deep red blush

I will learn to love without this light

And find the serenity in the calm of night

But tonight i lay and cannot rest

Tonight sleep has decided to not be my guest

I will never truly be a child of the light

Forever shrouded in the veil of night

Yet i will let my thoughts continue to flower

And for now, i’ll just listen to pass the hour.
