The page was empty when it came to me
But with white spaces in white spaces

And I felt the need to touch the page
With shape to shapes and hue to hues

Or was I - I am not really sure
Nothing is sure - but it had been touched

With grays and greens of cubes and spheres
Or greens and purples of cubes and spheres

Or purples and reds of cubes and spheres
No! - reds and yellows of cubes and spheres

The colors drifted vividly to the entire page
So vivid that it radiated and touched me

And I thought - I was there
But I was here inside the page

Ravished by the play of no empty spaces
No! - maybe I thought I was here

But I was there inside the page
Ravished by the play of no empty spaces
