A different palette, different
brushstrokes,
Not merely the three primary colors,
Those on the color wheel only, drawing,
Painting something more important, willing,
Colors of history, of time, of nostalgia, of memory,
From our perspective, our collective ethos,
From our one story, our common ken, to life.
Delicately brushing grains
of history on the canvas,
Adding memory of the fans, the nation,
Capturing a moment, perfection…
Affixing more than their features,
Something of the power, the gravitas,
Willing the hesitant colors to become permanent,
Evoking mystery, capturing light in a bottle, a spark.
Bleeding nostalgia, importance,
these colors,
Our heroes, a different moment, a time,
Our country’s history, our youth,
What we would wish it to be,
When we all played the same game,
Drawn from the palette, a wooing,
A willing of the images to come alive…
