colour

for too long my world was black and white. and all the colour fled from my sight. the world around was bleak and dark and nothing was worth another beat of heart. around me, no beauty was in sight. all the colour had took flight. all around me turned to night, nowhere shone even a hope of light. then one day life was revived into a soul that into darkness dived. life was blown into bones black burned. and the colours had returned. The reason: meaning was restored when I made Him once again my Lord. even when I strayed far from home I was never once alone. What He returned means more to me than anything that holds a fee for no price can be added to meaning that rings true. I can only give my thanks to You for You made all my life brand new. Colour floods my eyes again! I thank You, Lord, once again.
