I See in Color

As a young child,

Our Art teacher said,

“Look up! What colors do you see?”

“White. White. White”

And I was confused.

I saw all the colors of the room

Reflected in that ceiling.

As I grew,

I started to see colors

Around people.

I became fascinated with color

The thoughts,

Feelings,

Emotions,

And Meanings

Associated with each color.

My white canvas

The absence of all color

My black paint

The combination of all color

A dark night

The absence of all color

A white light

All colors combined

I need the Light

To enter the darkest part of my eye

To see all the colors

From my mind to the canvas

My Super Power

Is Seeing

All the Colors

Of Black and White

I See

Your True Colors

And You…

Are All My Favorite Colors
