You spread your fog of iridescent hue;
hide well realities of black and white
beneath your dazzling drops of diamond dew.
Then shadows turn to piercing rays of light
that shock the heart and race the crimson blood
to momentary madness of the mind-
to soon be swept away within the flood
that leaves mundane reality behind.
Yet, like the fog, you slowly melt away
to bare concreteness and once more redeem
the white and black and gray that somehow stay
to overpower the psychedelic dream.
But leave behind one dewdrop as you flee-
for art is cut from gems of fantasy.
