COLORS OF WHITE

Tales of silver and gold 
with stripes of blacks and blues; 
White is not what it seems as it was told,
it is tinged with different hues.  

Heaven is not always above 
and hell is not always below; 
There are plains and snags in life and love, 
and not all golds are yellow. 

But the real colors of white 
are hidden in ray and snow; 
You may reveal them if you are bright, 
but you can't always make them glow. 

But you can fight for what is right, 
under the sun you have a space,
for lies within the colors of white 
are colorful nights and days.
