I know you want me
softer, more pastel
the loud bright of me
is overwhelming
less willing to be
absorbed in your shadow.

I am permanent
in my refraction,
like the rainbow

unable to splash
across your sky
in anything other
than what I am.

Please accept
my display
I will not fade
not even for you.

WhiteRose 08/02





In truth, what defines us is our poetry.

Anne, this was a fine, fine write.

It was not really benefitted by the colored font. (kinda like gilding the Lily)

Unless, you just felt like sprucin' the place up.

To put a cloud before the shine of you
would be an injustice to you and all
who experience the joy of your words..

Keep shining...
