Line of inquiry: truth imbibed awaits assimilation we feel it in our bones in time dissolved meditation Like babes we suckle turquoise truth Growing esteem umbilical cord lines For love a fuchsia fountain of youth Preserves souls empowers with divine I am no longer settling for carnality The light within outgrew human shell Universe invites me to light dynasty Quenching thirst from ethereal well Welcomed as individuals yet part Of the galactic rainbow of soul Embodying the lights of our heart Creating a beautiful universal halo

Great entry, Karen. I particularly like the concept of halo; unseen but I can attest to an aura that certain persons emit that is undoubtedly akin to the divine. I am still pondering your turquoise truth and fuchcia fountain of which I can not yet place except for the appeal of alliteration, which I love.

The fuchsia is in the purple family my favorite color to show passion and royalty in African culture. So a nod to the ancestors with a fuchsia fountain of youth! Honored you like it dear poet.

I had an aunt who was clairvoyant and saw colors around people and things unique to them. In my mind blue is a color of loyalty like true blue. Turquoise is a jewel of beauty closer to blue but not quite as we are not always fully truthful.

This poem is more soothing than Mylanta. It's good for what upsets me. That's for sure. Thanks, Karen.
