When the Colors Fade
my spirit hovers in a land without color
only shadows between dark and light
in youth the hues were vibrant
but now there are only forms in shades of boldness
oh, to bring the color back into my world
perhaps a magical return to childhood
you offer roses; their outlines I see
but they blend in with the untinted scenery
what was green
what was red
what painted the sunset...
this beauty I no longer see
since you left my side
and loneliness encumbers me
