United the spectrum

The importance of colors

By Shawn HansenPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Beyond the guiles of the man in the moon

The kaleidoscope eyes I ne'er saw clearly through

Emergent from darkness into prismatic light

Pondered me, who be I, neath the livery of night

The indigo hearts, so truly blue

So sadly sentient and mighty in woe

Could see naught beyond yesteryear, of laments long past,

To the now nor tomorrow, where hopes are amassed

Of ifrits and shamans and their red crimson fire

Whose spirits want for power, borne of fear and of ire

Souls congregate and boast of high clout

In Hellenist conflagration, love cinders in doubt

In regalia of violet, how proudly they love

Til tyrannical pride, gives to dining on doves

Oh regency divine, save us from the pangs

Of achillean boyishness, and their Phoenician games

Viridescent Gaia, thou wilderness creeps

Vestal babes wail for Ephesian teets

Mary's sorrow makes one sickly and green

When prayers are forsaken, making nightmares of dreams

Refracted twas mine aura, divided among the stars

Helioharmonically coalesced the colors of my heart

As one before all and all before one

From an image created, one complete ray of the sun
