When days go on like sad, sad songs
when poems bite the dust
when words just seem to tag along
and wither as they rust
when times like these
are left at ease
and hope's just left to die
that's when I crawl
back up that wall
and give it one more try
there's nothing life can pin on me
for giving all I've got
I've made it there and back for free
and fate can't have my spot
the world's a place
where all can face
each day with hope to fix
the things that drain
the clouds that rain
into a sweeter mix
with patience and a steady sight
we're sure to see the sky
for through the clouds comes idle light
and rainbows way up high
they mark the time
to spread your rhyme
and finish with a start
so though you may
see only gray
you'll always have your heart
and colors, you'll have colors too
'cause in the tears of truth
it's clear to see the brighter you
so share your youth forsooth
with pinks and greens
and ultramarines
and lavender-lilac-la mode
'cause time's best spent
when you invent
your colors, your choices, your road
and in your strands they'll see your tale
your songs will shine like the dew
I pray that yours will never fail
but remind you that sometimes, they do
now this spider's got news
of new hues to infuse
and more storm clouds are bound to appear
so goodbye my dear
your path is now clear
may you shimmer each color you choose.
