A College without Colors


A College without Colors
Come back dear child,
As we wait for you to continue to paint the world with your colors,
A magnificent shade of magenta for the cherry blossoms on the trees,
That used to carry your spirits at springtime,
And the azure blues that echoed across the starry nights,
Your eyes beholding the infinite wonders of the universe,
But still the yellows of the golden sun that shimmers
Stronger than the trail of tears coming down from the mystic sky,
It caught your gaze and became your pedestal of hope.
For all to see....
For all to...
For all..
For.
For you to go so far away from your paintbrush of prosperity,
And embellish the days with grays and blacks,
Retreating into the darkest shadows of life.
The colorless walls of an incredible institution,
Contain your mind, heart, and soul.
Trap you into weeks without the rainbow,
Months without the sunshine,
Years without the colors.
A prison of education.
As we await your arrival back into creativity,
Every now and then, the rainbow will be waiting for you.
