Darcy

Dedicated to my sibling. The strongest person I know, and a color so unique and bright.

By Yvonne JutagirPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Eyes open in

black and white

our world is

polar not bright

~~~

people bringing light

mix and blend

but do not bend

~~~

for they paint

the canvas so

stark with the

color of life

~~~

stories and strength

their paintbrush

it paints

~~~

colors so unique

not tame they speak

their strife

~~~

opening eyes to

the sky so blue

grass so green

~~~

not forgetting

those who painted

previously

~~~

they glow in

shades so true

people they

~~~

don’t always know

they are the paint

without their palette

~~~

the world would

be so bland

we need every color

we need all of them.
