Color Fades

as the color fades
on dreams of yesterday
a painting bleached by sun
realization not begun

no beginnings at the end
dreams you can't transcend
the color starts to run
on what is left undone

thought there was more time
'fore clouds blocked the sunshine
canvass smeared, the likeness none
untouched, forgotten, shunned
