repost.. Missing you all!!


Poem Artwork









 


Keeping my head above water..
Breathing in sand..
Swimming in this vast ocean..
Yet drowning on land..
Flying without wings..
No legs to stand..
Waiting for hope..
As she holds out empty hands..
She wants to dream in color..
It is something she cannot do..
Her world is black and white..
Colors never bleed through..
Maybe one day she will capture ..
the sunshine..
In her mind..
Maybe one day..
She will stop living ..
as if she is blind.
She only wants the hope
that dreams can bring..
This dream of color ..
could help her live again.
Until then
she is a..
black and white girl..
Living in a
color drenched world..
Waiting for her turn to
fly..
Into heavens vibrant
skies.
Waiting for God
to notice..
The girl with..
color blind eyes.

This is certainly insightful and says a lot without being overly sentimental.
