Seven Shades and Mr Blue Skies
"Seven Shades and Mr Blue Skies"
You walked into the storm
and waited for some sign
to struggle less
face upturned
looking for Blue Skies
Seven shades illuminated
the yearning of your heart
Each colour a meaning
and emotion
buried firmly in the past
bespoke in prison Grey
Seven signs of reverence
Delivering a meaning
to distinguish dark night
from new day, some kind
soft semblance of Light
attracting a different colour
hidden in the spectrum
beyond ultra violet
one that doesn’t dissolve
in a bed of lies
uncovering a deeper shade
of Love,
the heart seeking truth, tries
some kind of colour
that doesn’t fade
past the unseen arc
into forever
lights some kind of spark, stays
A life in five minutes
served in years of Seven
for severence a mind is locked
some small thoughts
of forgiveness. stopped
Each veil falls
bare to the bone
Walking further down
the less trodden trail
the rising of a naked soul
back turned on a wrong turn
Walks Home; do or die, won't fail
Door closes
Dead Chapters burnt
ashes returned
to Grey, who stole time
bartering a child, parlayed
Message received
Priority post mailed.
Black on white.
Healing is in the
turning away
A fresh life turning
towards new colours
Vibrant treasures
jewels the mind touched
seen only through
dry tears
on a rainy day
You walked into the storm
and waited for some sign
to struggle less,
a healing of some kind
face upturned
looking for
Mr Blue Skies

"Donde termina el arco iris,
en tu alma o en el horizonte?"
Pablo Neruda
“One thing:
you have to walk,
and create the way by your walking;
you will not find a ready-made path.
It is not so cheap,
to reach to the ultimate realization of truth.
You will have to create the path by walking yourself;
the path is not ready-made, lying there and waiting for you.
It is just like the sky:
the birds fly, but they don't leave any footprints.
You cannot follow them;
there are no footprints left behind.”
Osho
"Healing yourself is connected with healing others."
“We may walk different paths,
but our destination is the same… The Light.”
“Eventually you will come to understand
that Love heals everything, and Love is all there is.”
"Where does the rainbow end,
in your soul or on the horizon?”
Pablo Neruda
