monochrome kaleidoscope

white all around me
white f a
l l i
n g
from
the
sky
and white if you die
pieces of white are all I see
darkness is new to me
black w a s h e s over my white world,
tainting it forever
the black and white mix together,
making grey

my grey and desolate land is wasted and lonely

my life is wasted away and grey
the sun rises in my grey land,
bringing a tinge of yellow to my world

the sun brings nothing to me

but faint light
it shines coldly upon me from above
dark blue clouds come from the west
heavy clouds
the r
a
i
n starts
drops of blue fall from an empty sky,
washing over the grey earth
the rain goes on and never ceases for years,
flooding my grey land,

never allowing me to see

how it truly is
then one day when the sun rose red
and all was cold

the rain ceased

the water drained away and the grey
earth was smooth and wet
days p a s s e d and I noticed that
green was coming from my gray land
the nights became long
and the moon now shown orange,
foretelling me of times to come
the days came again and the sun was white,
reminding me of the past
purple flowers hid their faces from the grey

all there is is grey
nothing seems to change

my gray and desolate land is wasted and lonely

my life is wasted away and grey
