ROYGBIV

I am the beam in the shadows of the moonless nights. I permeate the skies And silence the night while mama lulls her sweet Lily to bed: hush little one, I quietly murmur...

I take many forms, fill up spaces, voids And make holes whole. I am neither a primary nor secondary Or a tertiary color.

Mocked to be "not a color "

I watch them reflect and refract While I absorb all the light in the color spectrum.

In all colors of the rainbow i am birthed.

Red oozes my passionate and dramatic extremes. It ignites my mystery fire Giving off love with every heartbeat, As my fragile heart pumps the blood to feed my entire being. Don't try me unless you're ready for danger.

Orange promises me a ride into the sunset. Highlighting what each seed i have planted shall bear fruit to. The color of my becoming and success.

Yellow is the epitome of my honor and loyalty. With her i see my place in the sun where all my hopes and joys recline.

Green the nurture of my nature. You have fed me and prepared me for growth in the spectrum of my life. The symbol pf good health and wealth.

Blue lets me reach what is beyond my depth. My free space where i can break boundaries and express my full potential. Even the sky is not the limit here.

Indigo, where my intuition lies When all hope dies When i blast off to the stratosphere , you've always brought me back to reality but still remain the pomp and splendor of my life.

Violet has allowed me to live outside my body, inspired me to have aspirations and to believe.

I am all colors Given to me by those who wanted to be deemed superior than me Little did they know The mistakes of my forefathers will be rectified through me.

Black don't crack. I absorb all the sun's rays.

Skin like pearls.

I am blacknificent. Gracefully embracing each bit of my melanin.

I am by the spectrum For the spectrum.
