A Burst of Orange

A Burst Of Orange
By Lauren Hardman 

For me,
Orange
Bright and new 
Symbolizes warmth 
Acceptance 
And strength.

Orange blends well 
With fuchsia pink.
The two colors 
Match up nicely
To construct 
Alluring sunsets
Along with sunrises.

Orange has 
An intermediate tone 
That isn’t black or white. 
It allows for great contrasts 
With numerous colors. 
That’s a facet of orange
That I appreciate. 
It’s kind of like life. 
People need to be different 
To be united. 

The brilliant color 
Makes me feel elated!
It uplifts my mood, 
Molds my personality,
Puts my mind at ease.
It unfolds a creative 
Sweet side of me. 
That lets me be 
Who I am. 

I realized who I am 
By doing things I love.  
Singing,
Playing piano, 
Drawing designs, 
Examining various colors,
Crafting poems like this one. 

I believe that 
All colors tap into 
The depths of your imagination
And provide 
Great insight 
Into who you are.

Lauren, There's not enough orange in the world. Or pianists. I wish I could play the piano. Wishes for a Happy Sunday. -Richard
