Life in technicolour

Life

Grey

At best black and white

Shadowy

Dismal

Drudgery

Cracked

Messed up

Dusty

Cobwebbed

Stained

Flawed

Sinful

Weeds between cracks

Uneven

Potholed

Pitted

Ruined

Broken

Looking through a camera lens

But only seeing shattered shards of glass

Splinters

Through a glass darkly.

And without hope.

Sunlight

Dancing rays

Resting here and there

Gone and returning

Vanished and back again

Boulder rolled away

Shadows clamber

Hop, skip and jump away

Born again

Free to hope again

Light-hearted

Seeing colours

Hues, textures, tones

Lens restored

People re-created

In the full spectrum

Of life as it was meant to be.
