Paint

i'll be painting you in black and white, in monochrome, and in sepia
like a vintage photo back in time,
i'll sprinkle the colors with oil and pastel
i'll make a canvass of sweet memories,
and keep it tiny, to fit in my bronze locket
that i may carry it, wherever,
and open it, when i feel small..
i'll fill the canvass with more than a rainbow's ray
because that's what i wanted it to be,
but i can only color it in blue fields now,
because life's knife has taken the green meadows i dreamed to walk with you.
I know you are now happier in a colorful heaven..
Lolo, I'll forever miss you..
