Colors of my Life

Entering life yellow and shiny, taking that first breath, crying out my arrival

Possibilities endless

Creating a shield of silver, protection from others darkness, shimmering in my light

Defenses interminable

Entering life yellow and shiny, taking her first breath, crying out her arrival

Possibilities endless

Sparkling blue eyes, my green eyes misty, crying out a mother’s love

Maternal forever

Finding shades of love, reds and purples, greens and orange, crying out my arrival

Closets open

Gathering lives challenges, packing them carefully, living out loud

Heart overflowing

Today rainbows surround me, envelope me, strengthen me

Proudly proclaiming

Hair turning white, memories shimmer, reflections like mirrors.

Warrior internal

Will leave this life yellow and shiny, taking my last breath, will cry out a joyous departure.

Spirit eternal
