Gran's Brooch

Slits of sunlight slice through
Long curtained shadows--
Soft hands cup the dull bronze;

Magnificent vibrant colours spill;
Blue into yellow, green, purple
Into gentle orange hues.

Glowing new on the sad cream walls,
Waving memories and colours spread
Tiny rainbows that dance and prance.

Filled with life, alive, reborn,
Weaving happiness into shadows,
Illuminating watercolour, kind blue eyes.
