All the Colors of the Rainbow A poem. To my friends. Thanks for being there. ~~ It was darkness, it was silence No water or air or light just nothing, just black no day, only night But the light and the air and the water wormed their way through the cracks and splashed their fragile color blessed at the edges with black Red Kind and wise, cool and bright and new I say that you're annoying but we know it isn't true. We have a bumpy history that I won't soon forget, But you always help me feel better when I am upset. Orange Calm and gentle, yet bursting with sound You wear fluffy cardigans and plant seeds in the ground Around the world you travel, hidden and tucked away But you always make me smile in your special orange way. Yellow Bright and sunny, with glowing soul and glowing eyes You make me smile and unknowingly have truly saved my life. Sometimes you are quiet and you push others away, Yet you always have room in your heart, a place for me to stay. Green Honest and sensible, with a strange thing for toes (?) Yet you care for those around you. You care, and it shows. You pay attention to my rants and try to understand us gays, And you help me out in classes and always meet my gaze. Blue Fierce and flowing, yet is more than what they seem. They draw and dance and care for me and watch over my dreams. Your pocked skin is proof that you love them more than you. I can’t heal your scars but I’ll erase the ones that come anew. Purple Shy and silly, with notes and gentle words. Our shared loud laughter is the bridge betwixt our worlds. Eyeliner, and kind hugs, and epic black boots, You guide me when I’m lost and help me find my roots. Pink Playful with mischief, like a fox with tails of nine You hug me close in times of need and are crazy by design Fairy tales and darling blossoms and a careful Vixen pride When I’m sad or need you, you’re always at my side And Black Cast in shadow, like power and poise A silly soft centre behind the hard grandiose You ground me, check in, and help me when in need You gently hold my hand as you help to stop the bleed All of the colors and the shadow suddenly spun, And grasped my by the hands and hauled me, one by one, Kicking and screaming into the sun to let them know I’m loved, And when I try to deny it, I’m suddenly being hugged. Because they help me, remind me to stay on track Remove rogue spiders and share their yummy snacks. They wrap me up and illuminate me And all the colors of the rainbow helped me finally see. ~~ End.
