Chasing Rainbows With A Butterfly Net

I have been living in black and white
Days full of monotony marking time
With the mechanical movements of
A toy wound with a key

That colorless void doesn’t match the
Myriad color palette of my soul
A color box collection of joyful
Expression that dreams can come true

There are those who doubt me and say
You are just chasing rainbows with a butterfly net
Trying to catch what lies in colored fantasy

But sprouting the wings of dreams
I will fly out of my world of gray
Into the belief  that I have within me
All it takes to make my dreams a reality
