Colorful memories
Monochromatic future
The faint red afterimage
Of a framed photo
And the blank wall
It hangs from
Precious memories and
The thoughts they are engraved on
It's natural to be afraid to lose them
But the wall is white
And the photo is already full
Of the colors of the past
Halted time is the same
As a broken clock
Let go of the hour hand
And let it turn once more
What is gained in exchange
May not always be what is desired
But the childish dream
Of reaching something unreachable
You can make it. You can make it.
Even if the infinte blue sky
Stretches far out of reach overhead.
- Title: Monochromatic Colors
- Artist: Vyear
- Description: Things like "I never noticed how much I took for granted," or "That mistake was so obvious!" are easy to say once we look back. Once we look back on our lives, there's always something we miss, or want to change. And sometimes, when we look forwards, the future seems to bleak or frightening. The past is always colorful but the future isn't necessarily. The important thing is the continue onwards while remembering the past, and bringing that color into the monochromatic future.

- Deep and beautiful. I like it and you know what people say about poems that should rhyme. I say they are being close-minded. Poems are suppose to be an expression or reflection of life in general and it doesn't have to rhyme.

- It is amazing and very well written. Now to the people who say the HOLIDAY contest doesn't need to be holiday oriented well it is supposed to be. Because I like your poem I will give you a higher raiting but still the contest is for holiday oriented stuff.

- For some reason, this reminded me of the lyrics to a song called "Symbolic" by Death. It's one of my favorites. Your poem is different in its wording, but it brings that same feel. I found it to be very deep and it touches on the sacred importance of certain points in our lives. Very well-written!!!
