Red, White and Blue

The Colors of Me

By Rhonda Lee Published 5 years ago 1 min read

I am but a spectrum of possibilities.

Molded and shaped by others perceptions of me.

A palette of myriad colors as vast as the sea.

Subject to change from what I am...to what I aspire to be.

Red, White, and Blue and its limitless hues, comprise the origin and shades of me, as perceived by you.

Vermillion is the shade of my innermost self- a reflection of my primal energy and desires; full of courage, passion and adventure, just waiting to break free.

White is the color that embodies aspirations of my spiritual self... untainted, confident,fearless, pure and free. Hopeful for goodness and understanding of humanity.

Cerulean blue epitomizes what my soul longs to be...serene, peaceful, filled with hope, faith, wisdom and love for all of humanity.

Life, like color on a color wheel, adapts and changes as it is exposed to various degrees of light and darkness.

Each of us begin as a blank slate ; with a full palette of colors, of which we can choose to partake.

Your life, like mine, is a masterpiece; just waiting for us to make.

- Rhonda Parker Lee
