some colors don't run,


but when you sweat and it


burns your eyes so bad


that you can't help but tear up


permanent isn't so permanent.


liquid erodes mountains,


but builds rainbows the same way.


broken shards of light arraying


themselves in perfect order.


but color blends and bleeds


to extremes when the sky cries,


and that black clouded whitelightning


sky seems to hold so much more attention


than simple colors racing each other across


a blue backdrop.


but when the bolts split the skies open


and the thunder sounds the end of the chase


i almost feel like the sky's putting on a show


just for me.


life seems more beautiful in greyscale,


and the skies are no different
