Undaunted

Candy cane colours
Infiltrate black and white business
She climbs ladders
In a network weave
He strikes out
The undertones
As mere feminine frivolity
Blocking the path
Of those who follow
Shading them out
Beneath the glass
In an effort to keep
His whole world grey
Still she strives
To the imperial purple
This world, her canvas
On which she paints
Bold brushstrokes
Of her ambition
The glittering prize
Is hers to take
