A Life in Colour

a reflection

By Lana NolanPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

I dream in colour

with a secret smile

eyes bright and blurry

face warm and flush

When I awaken

colours fade to grey

eyes dull and clouded

face numb and cold

I wish in colour

with a secret plan

eyes wide, unfocussed

face bright with gold

When reality strikes

colours bleed to black

eyes sharp and shaded

face cut and wet

I breathe in colour

pause and become still

eyes clear and vibrant

face calm and set

When acceptance comes

colours fade back in

eyes soft with knowing

face full and bold

I write in colour

without secret aim

eyes pale and primary

face wise and old

nature poetry
