Colours

By Joel Anderson

Handwritten draft in Moleskin journal

Colours- I will attempt to describe while being careful not to present features as binary

These lines are blurry, often undefined and intense

Between Brown and Blue, chartreuse and lilac

There's a primal reaction you can't hide, in fact your de facto reaction is a gift

While red being the cause of attraction may be a myth

These splats of majesty dye existence

With the power to dissuade a solipsist and intimidate consciousness, colour is everything, if I had a big enough paint brush I would colour in everything

Some people try to live in color, see the green lady of Brooklyn for example- a jade gem living among the drab white washed men

So pity the colorless and bothersome monochrome followers

Who will never know this amorphous blanket color which wraps around its mother nature and guides our eyes and senses

God exists in hues, when this is obvious to you life can have a certain positive universal truth
