The Colormaker's Nest

When days go on like sad, sad songs

and poems bite the dust

and 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

and 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 stories will shine like the dew

as I pray that yours will never fail

I 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.

Check him out.
