the color of colors

 

 

"Is it nothing to you, all you that pass by?

Behold, and see if there be any sorrow like my sorrow...."

-Lamentations 1.12

 

on our return journey

we embrace many colors

vacillating between the silver

of fugitive moments tarnished

shadows of fading glory forgotten

seeking obscurity within glaring neon

we scurry frenetically and lamely scamper

seeking gold transparency at the rainbow's edge

believing that our heart's desire lies ever just beyond

hidden in the cauterizing glare of too much golden light

but the color at the heart of all things bright and dark

the palette, the base, the insubstantial color of all art

the seamless canopy upon which we paint our lives

as we seek crimson satisfaction in chartreuse glory

dancing thoughtlessly from rainbow to rainbow

is not silver nor black, nor green or even gold

the color of the infinite ground at the heart

the simplicity at the center of complexity

in all its infinite shades of immortality

the iridescence behind fading clouds

the color to which darkness yields

is the color of infinite sorrow

the color which embraces us

on our journey of returning

out of the many colors is

the color within color

is a blue rose

 

the heart of my true beloved is a bright gem

a gem of shifting colors, an alexandrite

at the heart of this most precious gem

is the crimson fragrance of the rose

the cobalt source of this fragrance

is an eternal flame of holy fire

 

at the heart of my beloved's heart is my heart

at the heart of my heart is a fragrant red rose

at the heart of my heart is my beloved's heart

at the heart of my beloved's heart is a holy fire

at the heart of these two hearts burns one heart

a sapphire flames within the heart beyond hearts

within the sacred heart beyond all is a blue rose

 

the color at the subtle heart of the ten thousand things

the complex color within and beyond all simple things

is the fragrance of sorrow is the incandescence of love

the amethyst fragrance beyond my scintillating yearning

the color burning within my sorrowful love is a blue rose

 

my beloved is the color of colors, the love bluing within all roses

 

Oh, my beloved...,

 

there is no color like your color, no fragrance like your fragrance.

there is no sorrow like your sorrow and no love like your love,

there is no blossoming beyond your burning blue rose within me.

 

I come from within you, I am always you, I return to beyond to you.

Oh, my beloved...,

there is no color like your color, no fragrance like your fragrance.

there is no sorrow like your sorrow and no love like your love,

there is no blossoming beyond your burning blue rose within me.

I come from within you, I am always you, I return to beyond to you.

Beautiful..... I bow to your colors :)
