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
