this ordinary life
This Ordinary Life
with crayons and patchworked knees,
it seemed that things had colour
beyond their light reflecting.
Like mornings quiet steel blue grey,
and words sometimes glow soft and pink,
or that history always feels earthy and brown
and old.
and when I saw that ordinary objects of our days
led colourful lives of their own
and I knew that lines held personality
and everywhere I looked, everything I saw,
there was always the possibility of beauty,
things lovely and pristine even in their ordinary shabby shells
and in my play-doh heart, I washed those moments in
watercolour soft and bold,
and I inked the edges waxy black,
when the story was over and told
our life most ordinary
had been painted all a long
and sparkled precious, and gold
