A Hippies Dream

Close your eyes real tight and wait for the colors to appear...

By Vondell J. BurnsPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
Drawn on my Surface Pro mid pandemic

Psychedelic swirls of color

Fill the vacant room

Floating on grey clouds

And silver crescent moons

All is void

Except for the colors of the infinite night

Forming shapes and phantom shadows

That can only be seen in the absence of light

The retro squirms of color

Take shape without reason or rhyme

Following with closed eyes

is a wondrous waste of time

In the act of focusing in

They slowly fade away

And only traces of the rainbow

Can be seen in the light of day
