Confessions of the Colourless [Poem]

With a blink of an eye

Her rainbow fades to grey

The love and joy displayed in colours bright

The shadows raided to take away

And now she's lost her light

Years later a man draws her near

And takes her by the hand

Then he whispers in her ear:

"I was once like you, my child

Colourless, faded, and afraid to shine

But, I must confess, I wish I shined it bright

So, a word to the wise, my dear

Don't allow the shadows to

Steal your colours away from you."

She walked off, vigilly

And noticed all the greys

There were shadows, but no light to be seen

Until she met a faded knight whose

Light he's tried to shine through

She came to him and said some things

The same that man told her

She passed it on with her eyes twinkling:

"I was once like you, my friend

Colourless, faded, and afraid to shine

But, I must confess, I wish I shined it bright

So, a word to the wise, my brother

Don't allow the shadows to

Steal your colours away from you."

He went on and shined it bright

No longer that grey knight

A blue warrior who came to see

That His light came from One

Shine it brightly with the children

The children of God above

She went on and spread colour through

All the faded greys

With that same whisper that she got

In her childhood days...

So, a confession from the colourless

Has arisen to say as an athem sung

Don't hide yourself, you'll be great

Shine all the way through

And I bid you, please my brethren

Face your fears and see what Christ can do

With those forsaken colours I challenge you

To paint this world we're in
