The Life Palette

Your Soul is a Rainbow

By Valerie SimmonsPublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Colors are always there, lurking.

They burst from all directions.

Waiting in the shadows, to envelope you in darkness,

or perhaps, blaze down on you with golden opportunity.

Dripping from a wound with a crimson ferocity.

Always promising a fresh start, like a new coat of paint.

Happy memories come in waves,

like a field of lilacs being enticed by the wind.

Jealousy settles in, stubborn as relentless

grass stains on your favorite jeans.

Silver comes to us as the badge of honor

we all tirelessly strive for.

Every soul owns the responsibility, the burden, and the pleasure,

of experiencing this rainbow life.
