Welcome

a poem

By Raquel MendesPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

All hues are welcome

inside my healing heart.

Still dark, it craves

whatever light comes in.

It takes the red

and pumps its fire

into life’s veins.

It revels in yellow,

warm rays are cast

and thaw my senses.

It senses green,

sprouts that turn

slowly into blooms

of pure delight.

It ignites in orange,

bright juices invade me

with their fresh sweetness.

It witnesses the blue

invading all my rooms,

the tint of winter twilight.

And so, it might

ascend me into depths

of a magenta-purple

and find its purpose.

Beyond the mark

of what is tethered,

my love is feathered

and flies to all.
