Technicolor Hearts

Colors ...

they are all around us.

The brightest of all

found within.

Technicolor,

Patchwork hearts

Where faith and love do blend in.

The of brightest days

They are

marked...

With my favorite cerulean.

The very first

day of spring

Showcases the brightest shades of

green.

The memories...

Of a first kiss.

Long ago, but never forgot

Color my mind with pink petals

That shift from pale to a distinct shade of hot

Purple violets dance

Around my Nanny’s yard.

Boy do I love to watch them sway

A memory that stings and

also warms my heart.

Red, white, and blue

Fireworks

on a hot July night...

Mosquitos and sparklers

In equal numbers

And a young child’s eyes, all alight.

Indigo

... sprinkled with silver

Stars on a warm and clear night

My cousin teaching me constellations...

A skill I’d cherish my whole life.

Peach.

The color of roses...

And my favorite pie.

Reminds me of fonder memories

Of family together after a long long while.

Ivory

The color of cotton

And the comfort of a nice warm bed

Where I can drift

... peacefully to sleep

The moment

My pillow hits my head.

Brown

The color of the Earth

And the chocolate of my children’s eyes

Of which

Both inspire me

With love that I cannot deny.

Black to some it is mourning

To me it’s a complex state

It’s the beautiful depth of melanin

And my favorite color dress on a first

(Hot) date

White is a color

Or absence

Either way, I love

...but do not wear.

No matter how

Hard I try...

I will stain it without a clue

How it got there

Gold

The color of money

The sun

Its shine and our souls...

Inside us all

Beneath the shell

And the muck

We all are a perfect shade of gold.

Grey

The color of rain clouds

Another

Joy that I sure do love

Dancing in puddles

... just for fun

Or the love shared between

two turtle doves.

Colors

paint our memories

They give

... meaning to this life

For some a form of priceless art

To others a sense of tension and

Never ending strife

I wish we could all focus

On the fact that all colors are good

With even

ANY single one gone

Life just wouldn’t BE as it should

We are ALL

Colors on a palette

Breathing life into this piece

called

Life.

Together

we

Can Make. A. Change.

Building a future

full of compassion

And compromise.

If we look in each other’s eyes

Deep

To see the soul found within ....

All the colors we hold

Inside ourselves

Reflect back to us

... you see...

We are twins.

Our differences

They do.... unite us.

We all play a part

in this cosmic dance...

I just hope to see

More love grow

See past the colors

And give each other

An honest second glance.

Get out your needle

And your thread...

Let’s stitch together

our technicolor hearts.

Then maybe the world

Will finally understand

We are One.

Inside, we are all light and dark.
