WONDER BEHIND THE BLACK

She drew them in black.
Lucid lines bending in feeling,
abstract yet melodious.
The heart's chaos and
the mind's order,
Unraveling on the wall.

A hateful portrait to the judgmental.
But a rebellious inspiration for the dreamer.
She brushed her final stroke with a dramatic touch and walked away,
not taking a second glance.

Reaching for the light switch,
She turned watching with blazing eyes
As the lights bowed before darkness.
And from that black canvas,
life glowed a million shades of wonder.

There's always been a need for black.. tis an essntial.. a comparison without which colour would have far less meaning. Your words electrify the senses.. you creep in language that defies genre, then press every switch and send the senses riding on a rainbow. Brilliantly intriguing and unique..

'.. She turned watching with blazing eyes ~ As the lights bowed before darkness. '

Very unusual & startling & imagination-sparking. I was all into the "black" imagery & thinking how black is necessary to accent other colors, then suddenly your message explodes into unexpected colors at the end. Awesome build-up to this explosion of color, which brings to mind the way our lives can become so much more meaningful after we've slogged thru a dark stretch. It could be interpreted hundreds of different ways, too.
