Life in Colour

Life in Colour
The colours are alive: vivid, bright, bold
My eyes look toward them and try to behold
Stretching my hand out to touch them, to feel them
I reach out with fingers, cooing and giggling.
Each has its own name: red, yellow, blue
I learn to mix them and draw pictures of you
With shapes and dots and lines and colour
I blend them together to see what I discover.
Beyond the canvas, the colours mature
The lines come alive until I am not sure
If it’s my imagination, if it’s all in my head
Or can I read a message the artist has said?
Now my eyes struggle; they squint and they strain
I try even harder, but the clouds just remain
The lines are all blurred, and the lights have been dimmed
The colours have faded………………

Tyler,
The Yukon is a place, one of Canada’s territories. It’s white in the winter because of snow, and it’s green in the summer with lots of sunshine. There are mountains and valleys, and lots of wildlife.
