To finally see the colours

 

Photograph from National Geographic

My life has often been about chaos
and destruction, a walk into dark alone.
It isn’t pleasant there;
the words I write often sound of black.

But when mindfulness awakes me,
I begin to write of colours and of peace.

Like green is the grass blowing in the wind.
Blue is Neptune spinning round the moon.
Orange is the orange that tastes so good.
Yellow is the sun that warms me to the core.
Red is the colour I could wear and adore.

To finally be able to see
is such a wondrous gift.
There is music in the world,
and rainbows -

sometimes inside of me.

Room of stone


My prison
a place of safety
in my mind
long ago
shaped into a room of stone
self created shell

As I lie
the blackness condensed
having learned
nothing yet
plunging deeper into space
bleeding empty worlds

Curdled air
behind metal bars
still at night
deep in bed
pigmented rainbows puddled
old ideas hang dead
