If I can paint silence,
what colour would it be?
It would be transparent...
For I can see through myself in silence.

If I can paint happiness,
What colour would it be?
I would paint it white...
the clouds after the rainbow has left the sky.

If I can paint sadness,
What colour would I use?
I can't discern...
For I'm blind from the cries.

Wow this is amazing! I loved this, I liked how you used colors and combined them with other imagery. It was so deep and so powerful! Beautiful write!

Nice thoughts in this but I particulary like the transparent silence.  Seeing through yourself in silence actually is dead on.  Enjoyed.

Wouldn't it be nice to write a mood ring?  This makes me think of the colors changing on my finger.
