White is a Color
The art was most masterful on the dark canvas
One could see it from a distance away
They won't say her cheeks are too dull or too dark
For this picture shines brighter than the fierce day
A canvas of black is all I required
Plus a pen and some colorless ink
They won't say her hair is not wispy enough
The people will like it I think
In time, I completed her delicate face
She grinned at the outside world looking in
They won't say her eyes do not stop your heart
She is stands out among the chaotic din
One day, this image may fade away
While its memory still burns in your sight
They say white's not a color, but look at your shadow
Your shadow is darkness, not light
