Can you imagine the artist's exquisite pleasure
When, while absentmindedly mixing hues
On his grimy palette,
He discovered a totally new, never-before-seen
Colour? (quite by chance)
Radiant, sublime gineer!
A colour to paint saintly haloes with -
Auras, crucifixions, people ascending
To Holy realms.
A colour not meant for earth-bound eyes,
That dazzles into blindness,
But worth the sacrifice of one's sight (for another) - that single, momentary glimpse
Of Eternity.
