Colours in the Dark

Shut ur eyes to the light
let the darkness seep in
Put your fingers in your ears
obliterate the din

You're tired of this world,
leave it all behind
In darkness find comfort,
find the colours in your mind

Wait for the darkness
to course through your veins
Surrender the chaos,
let the darkness remain

Wait for a little while
then watch black turn to blue
watch as the colours
start to leap out at you.

Red, green, earth, sky
Unimagined hues
flicker, flow, swish, swirl
of sunset and morning dew

Eyes open now, you're back
to the world you belong to
Remember the colours in the dark?
Now, find them around you.
