True Colours

Author’s Note: The Bloganuary post for 19 January 2023 is What colour describes your personality and why?

This piece from May 2017 is somewhat of an answer to this question. I hope you enjoy True Colours…

Sometimes I am blue.
An ocean; endless and heavy.
But then a wave washes me back to shore
and I become yellow.
Sunny and warm; sand under my feet.
Until I step on a rock. And then I see red.
Angry, slashing, shades of red.
Like a bruise, I eventually heal
in colours of magenta, purple, orange.
And always, in the end, the grass grows green and long,
covering the rock and the sand and the ocean.
True colours ever changing the landscape of my brain.

Except for the black.
The black is always there.
Threatening to peek through.
