Coloring Black

Black is the color
that absorbs all others,

to deepen it’s already
dark countenance.

Yet, those others might still
speak from that darkened face,

still influence their multi-hued
brothers.

Note: Until recently, it never occurred to me to color the black spaces in any image. While I did just that on this design, these words kept repeating themselves until I finished.
