Spectrum of Life

Their sky is blue, 
As the calmness they seek
Their blood is red,
Igniting pugnacious determination to survive
Their sun is yellow
Ever glowing golden ray of nurture
Their forests are green
Overlapping shrubs of mystery stirring curiosity 
Their hearts are violet,
Like a bowlful of sweet yet sour grapes
They are individuals
Nothing more and nothing less
They are me, you and all of us
We are painters who colorize imagination
Revealing the spectrum of life.
