Hiding in the background
blending within the colors of the day

Chameleon you are
and shall always be

that’s what a friend did say
as you bled the day away
tending to other’s needs before your own
never giving a second thought
never feeling a need
to be outlined, visible, separate.
So you wear projected colors of pain, joy,fear
hiding your own colorful inner self
even when inside you are primed to explode
into a most brilliant star for all to see

but you are forever conjoined,
submerged within the all of life
for that is the only way
you feel you can

Be

and so you accept your
chameleon consciousness
consciously

I just read in Dear Abby a story that reminded me of this.

A small joke about a chameleon that died, when placed upon a cloth of plaid...

I worry too much.

Love you Kacy, and the strength of your spirit inspires me.

that's an interesting anecdote, Serenity. Think I'll stay off the plaid blankies, LOL, unless, as the word Captain's reply suggests, this be Scottish chameleon.

thing is, I am part Scottish

Scorpio, thanks for the visit, and happy birthday to you!
