The Colors Stay

I dream
in black and white
when
I don’t dream
I write
there
I find
a double
rainbow
come alive
and flow
words
seem
to be at home
with me
there I touch
wind, stars,
and sea
my feet
never touch
the ground
the place where
colors all
make sound
and I can
write the
rain away
black ink
white paper
the colors stay

Wonderful way of expressing what writing means to you. Your written thought here is so full of color. And the pic is great!
Sincerely,

You did this in a beautiful way..

Writing and its release. Would that I'd have found it years ago. Between it and classical music I stay sane (barely) Enjoyed

May you have double rainbows forever Slickster, prettier even than the one in this beautiful picture.
