Fast Friends

Colour is connection

By Ariel SchlesingerPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

From black is evil

To white is good-

All our troubles flow.

For truth be told,

It is not true-

Only bigots would say so.

____

Truth is that,

They are fast friends.

Or twins

Delighted

In being all that we know.

___

The same is true

For colours:

Through opposition grows.

The potential expressions

Are friends:

Orange, blue,

Red, green, purple, and

Yellow.

___

All the possibilities,

We can see:

Pigments tied in a bow.

____

For in the end,

The colours have lives,

When not making up

All that we see.

When not producing

The world around,

Colours play, and feel,

And sing!

___

Opposites express connection:

Black/ White/ Colour,

Through tones, shades, and hues.

As Colour is Us,

Not belief, thought, or word

Its Truth

We will

Embody,

Someday.
