Lubna Hazeem's 'Colors' 🎨: A Poignant Reflection on Darkness and Light

Tell me, which one is blue? <br />The sky or the sea for you? <br />The world is sinking in gloom <br />It has been a lonely afternoon <br /> <br />Tell me, which one is dark? <br />My face or a dimming star? <br />Everything seems so scarred <br />We are merely splitting apart <br /> <br />What if the truth was never so pure? <br />What if none of us were ever so sure? <br />What if there was just a little bit more? <br />Than a color for each of us to endure <br /> <br />Tell me, where is the roof <br />And where is the ground? <br />Now we are upside down <br /> <br />Please, give no excuse <br />No use denying it now <br />They're tarring you out <br /> <br />Seeping the colors through <br />A spyglass to release truth <br /> <br />Every color is made of light <br />Every color reflecting bright <br />We are all shining tonight <br />We are all shining tonight <br /> <br />You're never alone <br />Never on your own <br />That is all I know <br /> <br />Oh, it feels so cold <br />I want you to hold <br />That is all I know <br /> <br />Be my color, my cover <br />In the stream of lovers <br /> <br />I declare you, my love <br />And now we'd rise up <br /> <br />With you, love we'd rise <br />Above the stream of light <br />No longer slaves to our divide <br />We're free to join colors tonight<br /><br />Lubna Hazeem<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/colors-62/
