Whispers of Light

While sleeping I hear whispers of light. How softly he spoke with a quiet glow, Illuminating colors swarming the night. Blue’s bold, red’s extreme, yellow’s delight, Mixing and blending creating a wonderful flow. While sleeping I hear whispers of light. Slowly the colors become intensely bright; They are alive and begin to grow, Illuminating colors swarming the night. He comforts me into the zone of twilight. Oh what a dream “I can see Van Gogh.” While sleeping I hear whispers of light. I become free like a bird in flight, And can see all the joyful colors below, Illuminating colors swarming the night. Why are people staring at me, how impolite. For eternity in a gallery as part of the show. While sleeping I hear whispers of light, Illuminating colors swarming the night.
