what would happen

if we just didn't see color

and lived like timeworn photographs

and inked parchment?

 

what would happen if we

just didn't see

the shades of the sun

rising between the valleys

but instead saw only black and white?

 

does it matter?

if we lose all color,

how do we find beauty?

monochrome, lackluster.

 

i think it will turn out fine

as long as we don't feel

like we're trapped

to express ourselves

in grayscale emotions.
