How white and turquoise is that space, <br />That sees in many unusual place, <br />The bygone heroes are aflight, <br />To spaces made of blue and white. <br /> <br />How dark and sapphire is the deep. <br />The bounty of an endless sleep. <br />The hidden darkness is replete. <br />The water is a winding sheet. <br /> <br />How sable tempting is the night, <br />That comes to set the stars alight. <br />Escaping to a nobler place, <br />The airborne heroes quicken pace. <br /> <br />How white and pale the human seems, <br />When confound with sightless dreams. <br />The heart and head will stray together. <br />Mind and madness, one forever.<br /><br />Greg Wilkinson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/coloured-heroes/
