Patterns On The Wall

Pink hearts on the wall, paintings here and there,
Stripes on the blue paint, patterns everywhere.

Swirly images dance, happily in song
When one sparkly day, some spots came along.

These spots were very vibrant, bouncy bold and strong.
It was like no-one had told them what was right or wrong.

The paint on the wall was full mystery
People searched and searched for its history.
But nothing could be found, about the many different things
That appeared on the surface.
Something eerie rings.

Those hearts on the wall, stripes running through the blue
Stars, spots and patterns, revealed to me and you.
