Color Blind

By Phalanx

This is the hardest time of year.
A lot of memories, old faces and regret
Find the cold spaces between seasons
Crawling back to life where the sun sleeps longer and
I can smell harvest burning.

I know now I was always alone
Doing better with it then
Because I believed I wasn't but,
Truth bears a stranger light.

What glows and casts a shadow?
Something that shines in a spectrum we can't see.

It's like an appreciation of the atmosphere that deals with the unpleasant memories, & acknowledging a dark future. Don't know if it's intended, but there's a specific wording here coursing my mind with dark thoughts...not necessarily negative, but wary, maybe. I try to look for things I cannot see. Thanks, man.

    Ultraviolets and infrareds beyond the visible spectrum, and the truth of youth becomes the fey in the grey of day perhaps - cheers P!
