I am ordinarily colorless-
a black and white print on occasion,
a gray silhouette defined by the undefined.
Not densely white nor black, but by fusion
of light and shadow combined.

I am ordinarily colorful-
a mosiac, my lines distinct (not a rainbow fold
of pastel, delicately smeared);
the brush weighted with summer gold
and cayenne red, an Autumn storm of passion
the sun fears.

I am a strength, a weakness;
the sum of ordinary.

Music, perfectly pitched,
Caresses the harshest curve.

I love art metaphor--especially this one. Impressionistic style being complexly simple--or simply complex--a very good analogy to describe the human condition!

Bill-- Thank you. You're so kind. Don't ever change. *s

Startime-- Yes, we are all unique and valuable but a little humility never hurt anyone either. *s
