slowly
waking
from a dream
there
is imagery
filling the mind
but it
without color
awaits
a day
filled with
life
to color it
the memories
slowly baked
into the mind
and the colors
vibrant and wondrous
with them
but across time
the longest
of stretches
the mind loses
this vibrancy
the colors
still there
but slowly
less bright
and one day
they return
to whence they came
colorous
and vague
