My Favorite Color is Rainbow

Color n. a visual property eliciting an emotional experience

Call it color redefined.

.

Red energizes—fuels the fiery and the fierce.

Orange obfuscates and prances.

Bright beaming yellow, a wash of warmth, threatens to reveal what is dull.

Eyes meet green and the force of nature beams.

Blue’s depth earns trust, loss looms in its wake.

Purple soothes or pops the party depending on its shade.

.

My favorite color? It’s rainbow.

The whole far more than the sum of its parts,

Power unstoppable as soon as it starts.

When the hole in your heart is a color-by-number that requires the whole damn crayon box,

Let it be known -

Your favorite color is rainbow.

.

Rainbow elicits a sense of expanding agency -

A unique perceptual experience received in full,

Never mind where lines meet.

A rainbow inspires passion and the recognition I deserve compassion,

The comfort that my forward-looking lover of rainbows will soon follow a storm.

.

Seeing rainbow is a reminder:

It is not me alone who lives for this color, so vulnerable and profound.

While some may dream of darker skies, many fantasize with eyes as wide as mine of vast rainbow skies.

.

Most colors stir up feelings that are fleeting and potentially misleading.

Rainbow elicits fulfillment of a truth at the core of my very being.

My favorite color is rainbow -

The color of hope realized.
