Imaginary Colors
(A sequel to Colors For Jaime, by Midnitesun.
Remember?)

Paint the world in imaginary colors.
Then pretend the colors you made up are real,
because they are.
Like Wendy floating gently to the Earth,
her body lush with love and an implicit promise,
her form clothed only in the mists of Heaven,
her arms full of "soft, warm, golden dreams,"
folding her celestial wings,
reaching down to give me a rainbow.
What have done to deserve this gift
when there are so many others who are hurting,
Earthbound,
on this still too dark and troubled world?
I go to bed,
knowing that tonight
I will not be in bed alone,
pretending that the dreams
I hold in empty arms are real,
because ... because they are.

Better send this before it gets eaten,
along with everything else that has happened today.

smiling, and sending you my rainbow dancing lights once again

Crimson and gold
are colors so bold
they jump out
and shout
Hello to you.

Green and blue
sometimes can be cold or cool,
like icy blue streams
and pillowy green moss,
or scrumptious plump blueberries
near swaying willow trees of pea-soup green,
that turn sunny gold when days become cold.

Red raspberries sweet and yummy
with milk will fill up your tummy
with such happiness and warmth
you would think they were as yellow
as banana peels or tart lemon.

Of course there are so many other
flavors and scents
that color our world,
it takes a rainbow of tasty treats,
the kind that fall from windy wrappers
after a thunderous rainstorm
to begin to describe the color wheel.

And the aurora?
I call it my Rainbow Dancing Lights,
and the blues, greens, reds and purples
that swirl and dance amid soft creamy whites
in winter's midnight blue Arctic sky
are such a magnificent color ballet,
if I could I would
send one your way today
to encircle your body and soul
with soft,warm golden dreams.
