The Colors of Life
Color, miracle of light, never ending palette of energy; flood my mind and wash away the gray abyss.
Paint my heart, red and gold;
my life with a million color-scapes.
A life without color, is a monster;
lying in wait to devour everything.
My palette, likes to dance, among the tulips and poppies; nature’s canvas, provides the music.
Pirouetting brush, taps out scenes on a canvas;
a one-dimensional adventure, to peruse for years;
a snapshot of a moment in time.
My spirit rides the flow of pigment across the canvas; skating on the flow,
I am at one with hues birthed by light.
Meditating upon them, I come to see the beauty
in the world and in myself;
a palette of colors, am I.
All life, dances in reds, greens, yellows and blues;
their blending, gives birth to hues, pastel to bold;
life is light in inter-play, with everything.
Look around and brand the colors upon your heart,
memory and soul; tattoos of joy and sadness,
blend to build a canvas that is viewed by all.
Your colors; valued by others or hated,
determine your destiny.
When you re-paint your life, do not fear the colors;
revel in them. Your imagery will live on, eternally.
