The comfort of colour

Shades

By Lilia PetersPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Winter nights burst forth in colour

A vibrant spectrum like no other

In dreamtime states

And tempted fates

The face of the earthly mother

Through rich and poor

And faded doors

Through darkest shades

And midnight parades

We constantly seek more

Though we look outside than in

And prick and pull out every whim

A constant reminder

If you look to find her

Is colours comfort within

Now as we flick across a page

And come across the final stage

Soon you'll see

Yourself in thee

And release all of your rage

The only role of colour

Is one like no other

To express no less

To be your mess

To entwine you with your lover

For all the doubt that we share

Colour is constant

Colour is there
