colors

edited for (hopeful) improvements

the colors you see dancing
cast this life in meaning
as your mind catches them
amidst their sprightly gleaming

they tell a tale of creation
perhaps the same as ours
from nothing they spring forth
and bloom along like flowers

the darkest depths give birth
to cascading rainbow light
which fades and melds together
into the pure, shining white

from a sight which is sightless
to a sensation so blinding
the spectrum carries onward
all shades and hues aligning

each color stains the blush
that paints the painter’s cheek
as every brush stroke pulls
my eye’s oceans where they streak

i dream in deep undertones
which overstay when i wake
reminders that the mind is bright
when life is mottled gray

it’s said where there is naught
something cannot be made
but the light shows us truth
from which we tend to stray

i yearn to be those colors
as they fade into sharpness
against the laws that govern
the world where my heart lives

What a great imagination and thought process put into depicting colour and all its hues - you crafted a colourful masterpiece here :) I really liked your lines fantasy is bright while life is molten grey - I find so much bright entertainment in my dreams (fantasy) but feel trapped at times in a very dull life :)
