All the Colours

All The Colours 

Smile with all 
     that is green
At all that is 
     blue above 
And all the colours 
     in-between
Will laugh for 
     the life you love. 

Run from all 
     that is red 
From all that is flesh 
     and bone 
And all the colours 
     that have bled
Will fade as 
     you die alone. 

Lay in all 
     that is black
With all that is 
     white and good 
And all the colours 
     will come back, 
To return to 
     where you stood. 

Dream of all 
     that exists 
And wish for all 
     that does not, 
Then all the colours 
     will reminisce 
Before your life 
     is forgot.
