Colours of My Life

The dark blue of the sea
The hidden parts of me
The reasons that I seek
The pain that makes me weak
The troubles of my mind
The meanings that I find 
In every little thing
A bird with broken wing
A hope that isn’t dead
The words that will be said

I stay awake and wait
Although it’s much too late
For it to come at night
A dream in red and white
A whisper in my ear
Makes me forget the fear
Of darkness and of light
Helps me embrace what’s right
Decipher the old code
At the end of the road

The yellow rays of light
Have put into my sight
The morning of a day
A chance to find my way
A chance to breathe, to smile
And for a little while
To put away my pain
To get wet in the rain
To get brown in the sun
When everything is done.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Have a blessed New Year.
