Woke up to a cloudless sky No white just blue insight Over the vast horizon blue and blue alone No clouds to be seen about It is when I cleared my eyes That I was in awe an awe of fear not of wonder Only Blue painted above me Painted past the horizon Just blue unbound Looking out, I lay there in my bed Afraid to move,waiting for white Hours passed and a cloud came A single cloud and my fear went Twas not color of blue that gripped me Twas a monochrome over such vastness That brought dread into my soul No shades of hue to do my work For night too begets such dread Waiting its turn to make me afraid A monochrome brings despair Whatever its hue, a single is withdrawn Trying to swallow all it can Trying to paint all in its path

Monochrome
Woke up to a cloudless sky No white just blue insight Over the vast horizon blue and blue alone No clouds to be seen about It is when I cleared my eyes That I was in awe an awe of fear not of wonder Only Blue painted above me Painted past the horizon Just blue unbound Looking out, I lay there in my bed Afraid to move,waiting for white Hours passed and a cloud came A single cloud and my fear went Twas not color of blue that gripped me Twas a monochrome over such vastness That brought dread into my soul No shades of hue to do my work For night too begets such dread Waiting its turn to make me afraid A monochrome brings despair Whatever its hue, a single is withdrawn Trying to swallow all it can Trying to paint all in its path
