Colours

Ah, the new day displays
                                 such cascading colours.
Eternally fostering hopeful glances
in the direction
                                     of tomorrow.

We are victims to our needs
                          which makes us greet
each day with sun-glassed eyes.

In trust, we burn our souls
              in ever-glowing flames
of socially acceptable conversations.

Ah, how easily we perform our
                                  mundane tasks.
Creating swirling metaphors
to disguise our lack of direction.

Pretending that the sunlight is
                             our brilliant guide
to new avenues of pleasure.

We are yes and no at the same time.
Neither aware nor absent from
                our cups of steaming liquids.

In confusion, we solicit understanding
      from the telephones that never
cease ringing in the shallow
                shadows of our empty minds.

Ah, the new day displays
                                 such cascading colours.
Eternally fostering hopeful glances
in the direction
                                     of tomorrow.
