Colors From My Core

I look up and

suddenly I am at the top

of a mountain.

Nothing but clouds that surround

to hold my hand,

so there I stand…

attempting to scream

as loud as I can.

But nothing comes out, so I dream.

My smile is

the sun warming

bleak souls with vibrant beams,

creating peace below…

or so it seems.

Abruptly my laughter pours

out, so on a rain cloud I lean.

But it is irrepressible - I'm on all fours.

Endorphins seeping...trickling down.

So I open up the door

and paint with colors from my core,

replacing the worlds gray with vivid tones.

Sunshine and rainbows to ensure

that the blissful truth is shown

and shared, but never compared.

And slowly I realize I was never alone.

I blink and find your eyes…I'm home.
