Life, a Color
December 18, 2023
The true color of this human life
As it courses through our veins
Encouraging pure compassion, want, envy
Where the deepest of desires stay
It holds equally this certain power
Of purest love; of truest hate
The will to kill, of course…
Yet the choice of kindness, the same
Perhaps, it’s not the way
leaves whistle in the wind
Or the gentle sound
Made by every trickling stream
Yet, those colors lack life in the way that most counts
In the thumping rhythm innate within us
And the rosy glasses we’ve picked out
We paint this life with red.

Our class prompt was to write about a color, and to describe it in multiple ways. I thought about how life is often described as the blue ocean and emotion, or the green trees and good fortune. I wanted to offer a different take on what color I view life as.
