From Darkness to Light

From Darkness To Light

I was born into darkness,

From day one everything was black,

So when I was exposed to colour,

I had no idea how to react.

I immediately felt inspired,

I was so exhausted with feeling blue,

I wanted the whole world to see my true colo/rs,

And I knew exactly what I had to do.

I was mesmerized watching the grey fog lift,

And I was beyond anxious I couldn’t wait!

For the beautiful vibrant rainbow,

That was about to take it’s place.

It was something I had never seen,

Though there was a story I was told,

That at the end of every rainbow,

There awaits a sparkly pot of gold.

But after living a life of black and white,

With perhaps a little gray,

The desire of chasing a rainbow for a pot of gold,

For me had nothing at all to do with getting paid.

The part of gold that intrigued me most,

Was the way it sparkled and it shined

I envisioned myself witnessing this,

And leaving too, with a sparkle in my eye!

All my life I yearned for happiness,

Yet unfortunately to me that was unique.

Yet here I was feeling genuinely happy,

Based upon the beauty in color that surrounded me!
