Technicolor sky

it was in the early days
when everything was technicolor
there was that explosion that occurred
only inward
then nothing
then something called time
interspersed with more implosions
sudden
mysterious
unexpected
too many implosions
with black and white nothing in between

and then
it is decades later
it seems i have awakened
from a black and white dream

i look up at the technicolor sky
all i want is to be back safe
in my black and white dream.

because that techniclor sky
it's too beautiful and blazing

filled with possibilities
lost possibilities
stolen possibilities
forgotten possibilities
broken possibilities

something about that technicolor sky
wants to tear this wounded heart apart
wants to make me look at it
wants to make me believe that
it can be a possibility

i know i can never go there
this body, mind and heart
just would not survive another
one of those implosions

so i stay here, safe here
in my black and white dream
waiting for the blessed end
when i'm called into that technicolor sky
with it's endless possibilities.
