Colors

show me everything I want to be.

When I close my eyes

I see colors

Colors of everything I want to be -

Free

Beautiful

Full of light

But then

My eyes open

I feel the darkness.

So I close them again.

The colors make me happy,

They give me hope

To be

Free

Beautiful

Full of life

    So simple, yet deeply moving. The contrast between color and darkness is beautifully captured. Well done! 🌈
