This is so beautiful and i knew you would do this contest well dear dd! You can really get into art, and write something so moving always. And this is no exception. I love the line “ I stare into the sun become its after image” i love love that line, it speaks to my soul for some reason. Cus sun for me is something deeper. I should try this contest. But i dunno if i can get it right. Best wishes. Pleasure reading this

I'm not 100% if I'm on the right track but it was in the prompt to let the reader colour in the picture, so thought of how to make black and white appear colour and after images kind of do that. As you know I don't tend to use many colour descriptions haha :) I'm sure your take will be stunning :)
