The Seed, The Mountain, The River

The Seed,

Once a seed, growth the need, Green with envy of the things I could not achieve

Like water you came to feed, cool Blue waves crashing through, this river something I never knew

My fire burned as I learned how rapids can deceive

.

Red with passion consumed by hate, fought by fate as I sought to return to you

To steam you went as I called you liar even though you tried to douse my fire

I’m sorry I was mean

.

Without you the roots that held me down now burn, Brown bark, loud without a sound

My mind’s gone color blind, without you Purple I cannot find

Once unseen but now I do

Black, or is it White? Either way, they’re the absence of each other's light.

The Mountain

Waking on the mountain top, mind clear, pain nonstop

I look down to see the Orange on my sleeve

Reminding me of what I once believed

.

Remembering so many truths unsaid

I look up

To see the sun, mixed in Yellow and Red, as I laugh and realize,

Without you we’d all be dead

The Ocean,

Coming down the mountain I stop to see your reflection in the stream

Bright Red, Yellow and Blue, past the Silver lining Purple shines through

Finally I see

This river has always led me back to you

.

This in mind, I lay my heart to rest wishing you nothing

But the very best.
