Coming Into Light

Coming into light. Darkness. Bleak and wintry. Deep shades of obscurity, the taste of bitterness tangible. It’s consuming. From rich depths to softened grays. Neutral tones. An overcast of dullness awakens, sensations now becoming heightened. Somber, a pool of profound sadness. Hues lighten, rich tones of vibrant reds and oranges emerge through the gloom. The colors entwine. Warmth rises and spreads, a golden sheen casting an amber light across the infinite state of mind. A storm of passion, a red sea of emotion churning from repressed aggression. Fury, hatred and violence all manifesting until the tint softens, magenta developing blues. Skies of endless pigments. The bracing tidal waves of azure allow for raw sentiment. Tribulation, sorrow and anguish. It’s the state of mourning. From dramatic sapphire tones to cooling hues, white interlaces with richness. Green represents envy. Greed and craving. Yellow is radiance, unfiltered joy. Happiness is an impermanent state. Positive vibes that unify. Harmony and emotional satisfaction. Within that small spectrum there is nirvana. White, boundless. A state of liberation. To be awake is coming into light.
