What Color are you feeling today?

Question

COLORS

The thin layer of my humanity colors me brown

Which mostly I don’t see

The observations about life that I give breath to, colors me gray

People state this of what I reveal

The touch of my hands, by some, colors me green

As evidenced by the life that springs up around me

The secret heart on my sleeve colors me red

It feels the flux in loves’ current

Even before I speak, I am seen. Even after I speak I wonder

Which color will be perceived

I am not one but colors innumerable

If colors are like clothes

Changed to convey different information

Then I am a skinny man made fat, because

I walk around with an entire wardrobe on

Some colors I was born to

Others out of necessity, were made along the way

So if you see me out there and you want to communicate

I am a radiant human being covered in a thin layer of brown.

Answer 1

When you speak of colors & humanity you create a masterpiece. We are different colors on the out, but from within we are all a hue of red or pink.

Thanks for sharing you poem. It is very a pleasant and thoughtful reading.

Answer 2

First:about you, I see a man happy with his family and life, who would purchase, then release for fun, a gigantic truckload of multicolored balloons and watch at the park until all disappeared. Then everyone  would enjoy fireworks, sodas, chips, hot dogs and getting soaked in the fountain.

Me:Sometimes I'm a canvas of black with a white hole in the middle. In the center of the hole is a child screaming but no one hears. Other times I'm a canvas of multicolored paint blotches covering the entire area and of no organization.

Answer 3

Your heart is a coat of many colors.

Answer 4

Excellent !

Very well said, very well indeed.

Answer 5

I feel blue...maybe because of all the rain, or a little bit of sadness of a friend being so far away and feeling out of touch with them.

Answer 6

So well said! I cannot add a thing.  I would like my color to be a serene blue. (not the cyanotic color blue.)

Answer 7

Friend, how I wish they could have seen it in colored fonts as I did,

but the black and white does not make the words colorless.

Answer 8

HEY! That's not fair!! I just got done crying over music and now you're dissin' my wardrobe!

Praise the music, praise the rain, yes, the sun will rise again.

Shining on Rainbows, flowers and children....

And ever radiant HUMAN BEINGS.....

That's all I got for now,

Good night.

Answer 9

Bravo, young man. Spoken like a true genius!

Answer 10

...

Black

It is the sound of silence

It is the color of my skin

It was stripped away from my ancestors

It is the reason I am judged

It does not define or contain me

It is the reason I stand strong

It is not a crutch to lean on

Its statistics I ignore

It’s my favorite of all the colors

It comes in many shades

Its beauty uncontained

Its history is still unfolding

It cannot and will not be ignored

It is not a reflection of my heart

Its past torment can’t be restored

Much love always,

Temari
