revolution of color

grey matter spat and gathered

she lies within two shades

her hair is black, arms are white

no color in her day

but when one moment shows another

she thinks of how to pass

on the time after the crime

where broken memories last

she draws now

her world on paper

flowing lines of change

interstates across her face

illuminate the page

but who to notice

it does not matter

for this her only plea

to be sustained

in Lion's mane

a portrait holds a key

never before has she stroked

a pencil to a page

for when the wind blew again

she fell out of her cage

and on the lines she drew in time

she found herself between

a portrait and real life

caught in the deep unseen

and through a glorious letting out

she realized her key

that after so many rainy times

she suddenly was free

crossing over after eyes

have become like new

her middle clutter scattered out

and out the color flew

and though it not on her part

she thanks her Painter's way

for it is only through His work

that her's would turn from grey
