Colourless
I am a lonely piece,
Of white, oh so bright !
Fine sheeted paper,
Which awaits your thoughts,
May we roam open skies ?
Or ice peaked hills?
Oh how it grants me chills !
To change in array of colours,
Let your thoughts touch gently,
For they may not last forever,
As though the colour must fade,
Upon this hidden shade,
So gravely I implore,
Allow your dreams to rest,
Which we both so much adore,
Upon this white blank page..
