what do the colors mean

the green, pink and bronze

lying on the beach

in a sun brazen twist of youth

while before me

another fish leaps out

of the pond which does not belong

the sand is different here

than where you rest

soaking the sun's rays

for a purpose you

don't yet understand

what do the colors mean

the blue, silver, and blonde

walking in the street

amidst a sparkling haze of cosmetics

while behind you

the white wooden table has

the unclaimed baggage of yesterday

the trees seem busier here

than where you smile

for the purpose you all

too well comprehend

what do my colors mean

the brown, black, and rust

learning a different way

to tread the sea of the drowned

while beneath us

I extend a free arm

and lift up a friend who cried out

the joy is authentic here

unlike your tired lies

lashing out at the dead

but life has always been

there to know
