Life Behind a Shade

I see life behind a shade

Beyond the veil of gentle rain

Monochrome and silent, still

And perfect amount of soothing chill.

 

In perfect dreams I long for this

where ecstasy lies in lonesome bliss

In the darkness where I sleep

This dream of life I wish to keep

 

Accessing color through black and white

The doorway opens when I escape the light

Within the blindness I can see

And awaken when I rest in peace
