The
Raging
Water runs
Bending colour
Rainbow flowing bright
Magic paid the piper
For first colour, dancing light
Black and white would give us a fright
I thank the Gods for colour magic
A world without would be nowt but shadow…

    This is really nice imagery, Anita. Most animals only see in shades of gray, I understand. Think of what their world must look like. <3
