Light of Life

Prompt: The Rainbow of Humanity

By K.B. Silver Published about a year ago 1 min read

Out of the prism of life

springs forth the

light of humanity

we bathe in the celestial truth

that we all came from

one source

yet we are all

a perfectly formed

spectrum of

dancing light

the wavelengths

ebb and flow

sending us up and

down the

flowing chutes

of flashing harmony

🦋⃤♡⃤🌈⃤

All the sounds

currently emanating

from the vicinity

of the spinning

light-show known as Earth

belie discord and

impending darkness even in

the face of beauty

generosity

abundance and truth

🦋⃤♡⃤🌈⃤

What if we shined up our lenses

blew great glittering globes of glass

big enough to encase our

dwindling hearts, minds and

creative forces in magical rising balloons

we would hop into baskets

woven of shimmering force

rising from the painful din

cruising into the mystical dark

🦋⃤♡⃤🌈⃤

Energy collects and pools

from the whole present company

fueling our trip

all will be bonded in

love and unity

in purpose and

prosperity of character

on their infinite trek

through the stars

I have posted, and I have a few more pieces to share that came from the 2023 challenge on Medium based on Alice Walker's The Temple of My Familiar, hosted by Pub Arts O' Magazine. It is a publication physically based in Florida, started with the purpose of sharing artist opportunities, specifically artist-in-residence opportunities. I was truly inspired by the daily prompts and am proud to share the work I did that month with you here.

I am not a huge fan of Amazon, as I am sure many of you are not. The above is an affiliate link, but if you prefer, the below link will take you to Bookshop.org, a better place to buy books online. When you shop at bookshop.org you are buying online from a local bookstore.
