Thought Changer

Catching sight of unwanted reflection through my eyes I observe my murky mind lifeless, inactive, defying action just a blank canvas, raw, pure, unrefined, desire to inject substantial color inspired pastels to brighten the darkness eyes opaque though restrict light, much duller impulses, brain requesting less Starkness, my poor mind is without shape or structure until my thoughts turn to the one I love blissful images, colorful picture changing this abyss, no more mourning dove, she changes my thinking without restraints such beautiful colors my mind she paints.
