Explaining Colour
How do describe what we cannot see
There are moments within this life
that require open eyes
How do we explain colour
to those who do not see
Can you differentiate to them
the day from the night
We paint in shades of black and white
veiled beneath a full colour gamut
Our sight evades the dancing light
displayed amidst the skies and planets
It takes open eyes to see
We make short work of our beliefs
It takes kindness to receive
We return with no receipts
Our hearts lay bathing in deceit
Our eyes baptised in conceit
I choose to believe
to find hope amongst the crap
I hold fast to my failing feelings
That there is more than just this black
I will not let go
I will not
There is purpose in pain
There is meaning between shades
