Find the colors, because my God they are beautiful.




Find The Colors

It's tough isn't it?

Trying to find the colours in

The black and white.

I know.

I've been looking for them too;

Endless wandering through photographs,

Memories of my own memories of theirs -

The list goes on.

Unfortunately,

We have to get past the photographs

And the memories,

To really find that little shard of rainbow.

But they're what's making them – the colours,

Hide deeper and deeper

Until they are impossible to find.

 

The trick is,

To take that huge eraser;

And just start with

Making the page blank,

And start over again.

 

You'll find the colours then.

Van Gogh's yellows, Picasso's blue . . . but our art is words and the challenge is to find the colors in black on white, the "little shard of rainbow". Very nicely done NorthStar.
