If The Silent Colors Could Speak

If colors spoke,

Then I would paint the heart white,

For purifying the soul with goodness

And for making emotions win over power and pride.

 

If colors spoke,

I would paint the feet green,

For telling us to love nature

And reminding us to take care of its beauty.

 

If colors spoke,

I would paint the hands yellow,

For giving energy to all with its bright helping light

And for making their lives full of glow and mellow.

 

If colors spoke,

I would paint the head blue,

For controlling the mind’s depression

And helping it to cool.

 

If colors spoke,

I would paint the lips red,

For showing the world

That words running out of it

Can either teach everyone to love

Or just make them understand

How just a few of them can ignite heat and fire,

Break the age old bonds and turn anyone into a liar.

 

If colors spoke,

I would paint the body black,

For hiding all unbearable pains within by mere pieces of clothes,

For storing all the dark secrets

And the evils a person keeps to himself,

For hiding its sufferings and painful stories,

Yet bringing new fashions into life despite of all the agonies.

 

If colors spoke,

I would paint everything all day and night,

I would paint throughout my life!
