The Colour of My Love Virginia Salter If I stood, still, in the world of so many yesterdays, surely my love would still be the black of blind ignorance running aground as a ship with no helm toward the rocks shattered to gray bits upon the shore If Yet, now, I stand here not of the world but merely in it and sometimes it attempts to overtake me yet again with shades of gray looming toward the deepest ebony of unknowing If But, oh, Yes! I do not stand in the world of yesterdays I stand here in a spectrum of possibilities unconditional devotion within, without brotherly to share in fellowship romantic filling my nostalgic spirit of lovely dreams and fairy rings and sorrowfully, admission in honesty fleeting bouts of covetousness, envy, lust from the world try to weave their green and purple grips on me yet I shall pray for glorious, prismatic color to fill the love that resides and blooms as season opens my petaled arms © November 3, 2000 |

Very nice. I especially love the very first stanza and read the rest as self-discovery and the yearning to give. Enjoyed it much  With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free.. dragonpoe |
