What's the colour black? <br />I hear you ask <br />It's a colour! I hear you say <br />It's you! It's me! <br />The colour black is beautiful <br />You're beautiful! I'm beautiful too. <br /> <br />It's not for him to know it! <br />It's not for them to know it! <br />It's for you to know it! <br /> <br />Bold strong in spirit <br />It's intricately intriguing <br />It's intuitively knowledgeable <br />Instinctively insightful <br />Have you lost it? <br /> <br />To love the colour black <br />Is to know the colour black <br />It's your colour! <br />A little soiled maybe? <br />Damaged from way back then? <br />Not feeling quite fair? <br />Make it prosperous. <br /> <br />Find it! Discover it! It's yours! <br />It's mine! Touch it! Feel it! <br />Know it! Show it! <br /> <br />Nurture the colour black <br />Don't wait for him to do it! <br />Be kind to the colour black <br />It's more than just a colour <br />It's me! It's you!<br /><br />Christina Simmons<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/colour-me-black/
