Imagine every life we touch
could leave a trace of light
illuminating human souls 
and shared by both alike
pairs of perfect pixels 
locked in memories to shine
gathered for the golden years 
to reminisce with time

Imagine every pixel 
were a color of its own
as if to mark a moment passed 
now etched its way in stone
every shade imagined
lights the way for every man
rainbow colored ribbons 
since our spectral lives began

Color cores that speak of scores 
of years and time now past
the spirits glow to brightly show 
the trace that's meant to last
and carry on the hope of man 
as lighted paths to follow
for should the light of hope be dimmed 
the soul finds death will follow

Void of reds from rousing passions 
never chanced upon
given or received the passion
pixel turned not on
darkness hides the fiery reds 
when confidence is lacking
loneliness consumes the soul 
with every year of passing

Orange bleeds the passions red 
augmenting shades of yellow
strengthening endurance 
as the fire starts to mellow
touch him not with orange light 
that keeps him ever strong
his days endure in weakness 
as his nights grow cold and long

With sunshine yellow happiness 
essential to the core
however bright this pixels light
there's always room for more
without the glow the happy know
the sky need not the sun
to counts the days and all the ways
to end what life's begun

Green is where he emanates 
of harmony and health
some may even say it's called 
the measure of his wealth
either way the more he has
the more he has to give
so every soul that breathes a breath 
can share the dream to live

Never cease to pass the peace 
of pixel perfect blue
the purest and most precious 
of the spectral crystal hues 
if never known this light of peace 
which brings the soul to rest
a destiny of darkness 
will the soul alone possess 

So draw upon your memories 
of everyone you've know
and watch the rainbow colors fill 
from all the love that's shown
stretched across a canvas sky
throughout your arc of time
rainbows are the trace of hope
each soul is left to find

                            - Jeannie Minor
