Hue & Me - a colorful self-portrait

My eyes are blueish-green

depending

on what I'm wearing and how I feel

that day about assigning meaning to

objectively meaningful things.

My hair is wild and brown like the trees

with tones of a sunkissed breeze

and traces of silver threads that weave

wisdom from the pain that no one ever sees.

I Am

Black, like night

Visions

turn white in light of the fabric of my mind.

Red, like passion because my Love is

enraptured and freed

by the violet hues in you

that are felt and seen in me.

Green, like fresh spring

as new growth leans

into the next

of eternal seasons.

Yellow, like the rays of dawn

I'm perpetually gleaning from

and leaning on.

Pink, like femininity

and topography of my most

sacred parts of flesh

for as long as I am granted being,

and entrusted to this body.
