Colorblind

If my melancholy can polish bliss
Sifting dust of distress for pebbles' shine
Crack a rocky lair to a gemstone mine
What colors do my tunnel vision miss?

Profound message here, Michelle. A FAVE for me. Had to ponder this quite a while to get it. Maybe I overtired---or maybe it's superb poetry. Some of each!! Bravo, Poet. Cheers, Gershon
