The Colours of Being

BLUE.... Like the ocean. Cool,clear, Rippling over contours Of body and mind, Releasing them Into it’s tranquillity And peace. YELLOW.... Like the brightness of the sun Radiating it’s golden orb To inspire creation anew. That reaches within With deft fingers To tap the core Of imagination And so let thoughts Flow free. GREEN.... Like mother earth’s skirts Of velvet grass, Playful to the skin, Soft to the touch. And all of nature’s tones That paint the world In freshness and life. And instinctively Calls to the urge Within each to return To the naturalness of being. PINK.... Like the delicate carnation. And the soft colour-wash Of a summer’s sky. Light,fluffy,airy. Bringing out the sense Of the child And a warmth And gentleness That is the essence Of humanity. RED.... Like the rich pulsating Blood of life And the burning Intensity of fire. All consuming. Hot,vibrant. Energizing,tempestuous. Feeding the desire That incites To the arms of passion, Yet also fans The flames of anger So with the power To destroy. BLACK.... Deep,sombre Like the darkness of night As it draws it’s curtain Across the sky. Bringing with it to some A sense of foreboding Despondency,gloom. The fear that lurks In every shadow And shuns the light of reason. Yet within it’s very silence Lies that Supreme stillness That can re-unite the soul And cast out all fear. VIOLET.... Like the sweet flower. A humble unassuming Portrayal of loveliness. The pure colour Of us all So often buried within. The true being, Deep and abiding Made in the image Of Gooodness and Beauty. That speaks to the mind With the voice of Wisdom and Truth And opens the human heart To the fulfillment of DIVINE LOVE.
