Dreaming Of Colors

JESUS BETANCOURT 1955 (New York)

Rhymed
Restless night I'm trying to sleep
Seeing colors falling above my head
Slowly pulling me down deep
While I'm still lying on my bed

I begin sliding down a rainbow
Forming images by mixing each hue
Constructing things only I could know
Using colors to make my dream come true
