First, the sun bleached its vibrancy
To subtle whispers
A mural of marked moments disappearing
Through existing

Redraw the lines
Splash colours fresh
Upon the wall
For red, to leak
Where pink alone has walked

Blue holding Yellow’s hand as
Fresh green parades between
Look
It wasn’t as it was before
A shift

Mourn this change that steels
Celebrate what it reveals
In vibrant presence
A portrait restored
As MemoriesWhat is forgotten fades
What is remembered enhanced
