Imagine
  From the gray and dust, the bare and scuff… a spark alights.
  Out of the brown and flat, the gloom and cracks… a kindling match takes flight.
  The dull and lost, mold and moss, breaks and flaws, grow brighter and brighter and bright!
  Imagine a fire, an ember, a coal, lifting the fear of the night.
  From the ice and drift, the frozen stiff… a seed unfurls.
  Out of the dead and white, the cold and bite… a root reaches and curls.
  The wind and bleak, cloud and meek, blind and deep, life begins twirling and twirling, it twirls!
  Imagine a leaf, a flower, a bloom, warming a chill winter world.
  From the dry and red, the dirt and spread… a drop spills.
  Out of the vast and heat, the drought and weed… a spring begins to fill.
  The cough and sand, desert land, empty expanse, dripping and chilling and chilling, it chills!
  Imagine a wave, a current, a beach, an oasis no longer still.
  From the quiet and plain, the ebony stain… color bursts anew.
  Out of the empty and black, the void and lack… swirls a magic debut.
  The dark and immense, shadows intense, heavy and dense, scarlet, gold, coral and blue!
  Imagine a canvas, a brush, a palette, painting away the old hue.
  From the sadness and bored, the everyday chord… hope springs in.
  Out of the mundane and tears, the nightmares and fears… comes a new spin.
  The anger and shout, whisper and loud, failure and doubt, something grows, abounds, begins!
  Imagine a laugh, a life, a love, erasing the pain within.
