Black is a
Welcoming silhouette
And a bounding bundle
Of enthusiastic glee
❀
It is a blur racing
Towards a bone
Around the tank
Over the hill
Back again
❀
Black has a heart
Bigger than the whole world
❀
Black has a pink smile
And a soft brown gaze
Happiness as golden
As sunlight and love
Of the most vivid red
❀
Black keeps my heart beating
And my world turning
❀❀❀❀❀
