Green Beauty
Black and white. Grayscale. Monochrome. Colorless. Those are the words I've heard my vision described as. But as I peer out over my balcony, all of that has changed. As if I were a camera that had just learned to focus, I see green. The grass, beautiful birds, the flowers that have bloomed. Everything else remains dull, bleak, empty. But this green, it feels as if it's meant for me. I find myself in a trance as the air, another element I cannot see, brushes past the trees. Gazing down, I see my reflection in a puddle. My eyes, something that could never truly see, are green, a bright green staring back at me. This one single color in all of it's hues makes me feel alive, encouraged, I feel free. My world may be a heap of monochrome. Everything in sight blends all the same. But this green has given me a hope for change.
