Colors

ByRick Ellsmore

Yellow glowing

Reflecting how

I feel

On the inside

Her reflection

Wearing dark green

Feeling like home

Wearing like

Christmas emotions

Color

What we wear

Says a lot

Who we are

How we feel

How many

Wear what

Is expected?

Or put

On clothes

Based on

Fitting in?

Stepping into

Our wild selves

Involves finding

Our groove

The vibe

Making us

Freely flow

Joy finds me

In finding

Someone who

Understands this

Having the courage

To live free

In who

They are

Our reflecting

Openness

Freely bouncing

Yellow serving

As a welcome

For others

To listen

That inner

Child desiring

To play

    There lies a magic within It’s always been present I’ve known it’s been there Hiding in the cellar Clouded from my mind Smothered by a desire My desire To be seen To be loved To matter To change the world The desire To be needed Forming a chain Around my neck Jerking me back When…

    There is A Way One that offers Joy, peace, and Love It blows In the growing  Green Aspen leaves Follows these same Browning leaves Floating through The crisp air As they Miraculously feed The ground below This Way Lightens the load Allowing for Fresh lungs To expand Taking in Newness Light-hearted laughter Recognizing the opportunity…
