Colours That Know

Colours That Know

Colours running into colours
with nowhere else to go
purple touching yellow
and green moving slow

Red hiding in the middle
with orange close beside
while blue keeps moving softly
from one side to the other side

Lines going in all directions
like they know where they belong
some are quiet little whispers
some are loud and strong

Darkness sitting underneath them
holding every piece
while all the brighter colours
keep refusing to find peace

Pink is flowing through the picture
like a thought that will not stay
and yellow keeps on shining
in its own strange way

I see so many colours
but I cannot name them all
they twist into each other
and then they start to fall

Maybe colours have their own world
one that we cannot see
maybe every little colour
has a life and wants to be

So I keep looking at them
as they move across the page
colours never standing still
even when they look the same

And somewhere in the middle
all the colours meet as one
not knowing where they started
or where they will be when they are done
