Here let me tell you,
In black and white
If you think you are Right,
Or even if you are the Left
You must brush in -
Large patches of grey
But if you live in the deep
World of dark shadows
Impenetrable light-less depths
Then you need
Strokes of bright yellow
And polka dots of flaming red
If, on the other hand
You are suffocated
And enclosed largely -
There is nothing better
Than adding the space and clarity
Of gentle blue ripples
Of varying greens
In swirls and spots
And if - around you
Is the sound of good cheer
The tender sound of love;
Pitter patter of little feet
Then highlights -
Of pink and purple
With shades of gold and dark brown
Will have to be a must.
In outline, then
For the landscape
Of your life
In this way you will find
Beautiful ways to add
Delight, feeling and wonder
To color your life artfully.
