monochrome

i view the world

as a sun rise high

i am high on life and i

see the world

blazing, raising

arms mid air

branches sprouting leaves

and me

fleeing the need

to see

in black and white

i must say

as of late

my sight has been keen

and man, it brings me to my knees

for i see people

with color

race

creed

they shine shine oh how they shine

in my eyes

until i am made to see

in black and white

a motion picture freeze frame

of time time all the time i see

pure esoteric beauty souls spirits bonds

not crayons labeled

palettes cradled

in artist's arms

i copper cover my own lids

and open my third eye

blind

was blind

i view the world

as a sun rise high
