No me without my color scheme.

Photography Yassine El Mansouri part of the series Observation 001

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.
