Colour me

Colour me
I am indistinct
Ill-defined against the grey
Bring the world to life
With the warmth
Of your breath
The air is vibrant
With the possibility
Of such vitality
The promise of energy
Variegation
Is such a rarity
In nature
Nurture the beauty
That you may have seen
In me
Birthed in change
Hidden in shadow
As iridescent butterflies
Coalesce
Emergent colours
Metamorphosize
From silhouette
Into rainbow
There will be
Recognition
Of the beauty
Floating at the edges
Of reality
Waiting to burst
In vital universality
A moment
Of illumination
When every colour
That can be conceived
Will complement
The meaning
Of revelation
Disclosed
In the transient
Imperfections
Of a verdant
Soulful
Landscape
Rolling to the horizon
Happy to be free
