Whiteness

[Couplet]

Light would be an empty sky
No clouds or color for us to spy

Without whiteness nothing would reflect
With the eyes no objects could we detect

Blindness in a world of light
What to do without your sight?




[Rhyme]

The core of all color in this world 
Around it is which all colors curled
It begins with whiteness in the light
That joy of seeing a bird take flight





[Haiku]


The spectrum exists
Because whiteness is in light
Light stops existence?
