Where have all the colours gone?

Where have all the colours gone? 

The black, the brown, the navy ones? 

The colours that made the sun go dull….. 

The colours that made the wind go lull ……

The colours that would make me cry …….

The colours that always questioned why …….

You stole those colours dark and gray ……

And promised to help make hay ………..

Promised to bring in hues so gay….

That will lighten up my room as a day in May ……

The colours stolen,

The promises broken,

The May sun sunk far below the horizon,

As I now lie in my bed numb and frozen,

I still think …………….

Where have all the colours gone?

The black, the brown, the navy ones?

They were morbid, they were dark …………..

But they were ones I could never lack.
