Shades of Life

Dance through the Colors of Life

By Danielle HostetterPublished 5 years ago 2 min read

In a world that felt as if covered by the darkness of the night, Life was dull and motionless, quiet and still. Holding on to the hope of a glimpse of color in the moon light.   Awaiting the sun to rise, shredding away the darkness, bringing vibrancy to the hills. 

In a place where fog covered everything beautiful, such  limited vision.  The mind was searching and grasping, Holding on to anything that brought a moment of joy,  that seemed to be missing.  Awaiting the change, breaking through the fog, reveling the beauty with color splashes. 

In a life that was desolate and gray.  There was an inner  longing for connection.   Holding on to the moments of laughter, so tears didn't fall throughout the day.  Awaiting the breakthrough of color, full of affection. 

In a body that felt the weight of the world. Lacking in energy dredging through the sludge.  Holding on to the spurts of energy that rarely came forward.   Awaiting pieces gold to be found through the sifting trudge.

In a mind that felt doomed and clouded, Distant in dreams, with unclear vision.  Holding on to the flashes of sunsets mounted. Awaiting the skies to break with untamed colors, bringing focused vision. 

In a heart that was aching, lonely  and lost.   Seeking connection and friendship.   Holding on to all that was before,  so the heart didn't get trapped In the frost.  Awaiting the radiant colors to blossom of new found relationship. 

In the movement, that brought every step into a colorful open world. Dancing like  nobody is watching. Letting go of all that was and all that is. Watching the colors pour through each twirl.  Being in the present moment, so rich in chromacity. 

In a heart that is overflowing with joy warm and full.  Finding the connection and relationships that were longed for. Letting go, to create space for the new. Being in full, radiant blossoms of color. 

In a mind full of hope and brighter days, That now has dreams and clarity.  Knowing the clouded moments, bring upon the beautiful ways.  Escaping darkness that  creep, dancing to the beautiful state of being. 

In a body resilient and strong.  Full of energy, no longer dredging through the sludge.  Pushing towards the next adventure that comes along. Being filled with richness, poured from the gold out the grudge. 

In a life beautiful and vibrant.  The inner being thriving through connection.   Bringing on moments of laughter, full of joyful vibrance.  Being surrounded by precious colors, pouring out affection. 

In a place where the beauty of the day, fills the space. The mind is settled and transformed.  Spending moments in gratitude and joy, happiness interlaced.  Hues penetrating through the fog that once swarmed. 

In a world that darkness no longer hides,  Life filled with excitement and always in motion.   Enjoying the stillness of the night, because the colors radiate from inside.  Knowing the sun always rises, filling the earth with beautiful notions.
