BLACKS AND WHITES

Sometimes I ask 
Where did it all start
The blur to sanity
Using colors for identity?

Black and white—  
Are they not just colors
Used as symbols from the start  
To breathe life into art?

The human is an unfinished work of art  
Set on a transparent canvas.  
God used different colors  
To create a complete image of Himself.

I believe it is deliberate
For He wants to communicate  
The beauty He commands  
In His complete image

Colored.

Love this!! I believe you are correct... the complete image of God,a combination of His creation. His Son born of flesh took on the likeness of his mother's lineage but in our Spiritual bodies does the flesh mirror itself? For there is no gender in spirit, no race or family resemblance to mimic. It's exciting to think about and your poem opens the door to these ideas! Xoxo
