Carefully choose your colors Of a thousand different hues Aesthetically paint your path With reds, yellows, greens, and blues Let your greatest dreams take flight Design yourself a rainbow A path to another world To which we cannot yet go And though your colors will shine— They’re not the most essential Instead, if you could reach Beyond where no others will— Bring back a piece of heaven, And your priceless work of art Will be sure to touch a heart |

it's interesting. that you use the metaphor you used -- colors and paintings and such, it kinda comes off as your talking about artists|painters. but, looking at it from a poetic perspective it makes sense. good work. |

 (smiles) Oh Benjamin, this is so very true, sweet friend, always taste the rainbows as such joy and promise is always being dradled like a pendulum for you, destined to come to you soon! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Benjamin, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you!

Hello Benjamin Firstly I must thank you for the lovely comment you afforded my most recent poem and secondly to welcome you to PIP, a place of warmth, comfort and many friendly people. I can tell from your words that you speak from the heart and I'll look forward to reading more of your words. Here is a little something for you : "In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love." "Friendship is the finest rose in the garden of life." Take care......Sue I am in motion |

Sue, Thank you for those words. That is a very beautiful way of putting love, which I have come to learn really DOES make the world go round (okay, maybe not in physics, but as a poet it appears obvious that there is something higher that keeps the world turning... ). And love is more than just an emotion--it is a choice to give up yourself for another. And that is truly what makes life worth living.Sorry for going on. Those verses just went straight to my heart. Thanks again |
