I’ve been struck like a gong in prayer.
Forever revelling in the resonating echoes
From the first time I became aware.
Knowledge that no other colors could compare.
All of the sudden, I had a new truth to obey.
To never stray from the colors
Red, black and white plus gray.
So, to this day, I do not stray.
Now some may say it’s an obsession,
Others that it’s just a phase.
I call it my benediction,
Proof of my purpose; my mission.
Since sixteen, I’ve crafted this dream
To live, be, and only see these three.
Color-blindness of a certain extreme
But there is no me without my color scheme.
Beholden by their commanding presence
While emboldened by their power.
Their saturation and luminescence
Are what gives me my unique essence.
This is the base of my being;
A lens for all earthly existence.
That which is infinitely intriguing
Never dull, deceptive, or deafening.
Devoted I remain at my halfway point
Soon to tip the scales at thirty-three.
Repeated realizations that don’t disappoint
It is my duty they don’t go unvoiced.
Beyond my particular aesthetic alignment
I’ve arrived at a variety of veracities.
Discovered where epiphanies frequent
All just as vivid, vivacious, and vibrant.
As if buried underground, I’ve found
Deep in my mind a time capsule.
Filled with strategies for when earthbound
Survival ceremonies for staying safe and sound.
Sent from Planet Advivon I must admit
This is not a test.
Just a testimony to sign and submit
Saying you’ll commit, that this is it.
What you’ve been waiting for.
The guideline for how to live
With a sense of belonging and vigor.
Essentials to find balance and valour.
Concentrate on the manual’s meaning.
Memorize the regular rituals
Required of all individuals traveling
From Advivon disguised as an earthling.
First routines to recognize are the color celebrations.
Where red represents respect for ourselves
Black gives a sense of sleep and terminations.
While white welcomes any and all transformations.
Gray reminds us that it’s not all black and white
That there is some wiggle room
Some space for us to sort out what is right.
So that we may select some shadows to enter the light.
We can access this cavernous self-awareness
By completing certain configurations.
Carving channels with colors into our consciousness
Allowing for greater navigation towards health and wellness .
I’m grateful for finding this ever growing guide.
A communication from my origins
Ensuring I enjoy my time here with pride
Knowing that I'll return home at the end of my ride.
