I poured ink onto a page this morning,<\/p>\n
A Tyrian purple, from empires of old<\/p>\n
For the fine silks chosen heirs are born in<\/p>\n
And heavy crowns only the worthy may hold.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I poured ink onto a page this morning<\/p>\n
A crimson red, like a splatter of blood<\/p>\n
For ruthless battles and fires burning<\/p>\n
As death looms and graves wait to be dug.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I poured ink onto a page this morning,<\/p>\n
A cerulean blue, like the depths of the sea<\/p>\n
For spilled tears and lonely hearts drowning<\/p>\n
In a grief that refuses to let them free.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I poured ink onto a page this morning,<\/p>\n
An obsidian black, like a night without stars<\/p>\n
For every hope lost, every heart in mourning,<\/p>\n
Every fallen hero the poets will never sing about.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I poured ink onto a page this morning,<\/p>\n
A viridian green, like nature coming to life<\/p>\n
For hope reborn and a new beginning<\/p>\n
For weary souls that endured a too-long strife.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I poured ink onto a page this morning,<\/p>\n
A blossom pink, like a child\u2019s blush of glee,<\/p>\n
For a love that heals and dreams soaring,<\/p>\n
For a future in which all can believe.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I poured ink onto a page this morning<\/p>\n
In every color flowing through my heart;<\/p>\n
For every new tale, rising and growing,<\/p>\n
Giving life to a sprout of art.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
