A lake that felt pristine,
unusual but not strange,
with red and blue and pink and green,
my conscience rearranged.

soon enough not just the lake,
but all that I could see,
a mirage of different hues,
existing just for me;

violet, teal, azure and white,
and even gray was full of life,
I'd never seen black look so bright,
now the whole world was full of light,

I could do this all day,
so happy I could scream,
and I wished I could stay,
to watch the colors gleam,
but I'd just woken up,
from a multicolored dream.
