In Black and White

Thoughts embark in the farthest reaches
a mind they play with, hoping to teach it.
Vision are seen in colors of dreams
still searching for ways they can come to be.
Words of expressions float, drifting around
waiting to find order as they are sought and found.

So much of life is seen through the eyes
and yet more of life is lived in the mind.
Constantly changing and waiting to take form
holding to the hope that one day they will be born.
A moment will come and the time will be right
these thoughts, these visions, these words
will appear in Black and White.

Then they become real, never to change
no more hoping and no more dreams.
Never searching or waiting to be found
no more floating or drifting around.
Born and now given life, confirming that they were there,
showing that they bore the right...
          .... to spring forth and embark,
                   on a realistic start... in Black and White.
