Colours

By Lauren BartonPublished 5 years ago 1 min read
white, with a dash of lilac light

White

A fresh blank canvas

I relate

Each month a new start

Erase, unfold a brand new state

I let fate decide which colour i’ll be

Each second

Each day reveals a thrilling mystery

It was lilac today

With a dash of grey at dawn

With sunrise came cries to heaven

Of my beloved sister

I mourn

But the grief did fade

And turned a shade of purple skies

Sweet lilac love filled my heart

I guess God must have heard my cries

A treasure chest of colours my soul does keep

Even those that take their toll

And paint me whole in shades of deep

I know they serve a purpose

Of which i've learnt to no longer seek

For i've been shown the bright outweighs the dark

When the seasons turn too bleak

From the depths of the grey to the sweet lilac rays

I honour my colours for all

To embrace theirs too

For there's hope where there's new

Exquisite memories of life left to pursue

I speak of mine for all

To know of their depth

And explore in breathe

Their wondrous being,

Listen deep for your call

Bravely battle the fall

Life's rainbow of colours

For you too can be freeing.
