Colors

All the colors that my eyes see Seem to become a part of me The red that bleeds my angry days The gray that shades my darkest ways The forest green that brings me ease The purple tracks left from my disease The black that dresses my hearts delight To my faith which is a pillow of white All these lead me to one conclusion The rainbow is but another illusion Written for the first part of Sir Brian's contest.
