Rainbow

Back to basics

Seed of creation

Heart full of stars,

Born of earth

And rooted to bloom

There are days

When I’m rose red,

Ripe and full

Swaying in glory

And sometimes I’m blue 

In the reflection 

Of the ocean,

Treading the surface only

I can be orange

For a little bit

But it’s short circuit fury

Counting down

To burnout

I pose in pink,

Pretty and proud

Regal in purple

As I claim my crown

Life is a spectrum 

As we change

From one moment

To another

Life is a garden

Of flowers;

It is an ocean

Of colour.
