Things would be better

Photo:By Patrick Granfors after last Friday's Storm


Sometimes when the storm has passed

Silver linings offset the blue

Aside the cloud’s dark gray is cast

God’s clear prism displays no hue

 

A colorless rainbow lights the sky

Providing guidance to the soul

The perfect model we all should try

To keep colorblindness our goal

 

Each and every one of us is different

Each and every one of us the same

To let colors come between us

Puts each and every one of us to shame

Clearly a poem of deep vision. Joining the colors of the rainbow in their home has enlightened me.

Sadly what Ed says is true, myself included. Working through one's own hypocrisy is a lifetime's chore. Patrick

A colorless rainbow. What a wonderful vision you've brought with your words.

Colorless rainbows? Maybe that's what I've been missing out on. Every one of us is different, every one of us the same? All these contradictions and yet the message comes through loud and clear. Well said, sir. Thanks, Dick

Miserable wet after the storm comes the regret of never have thought of bringing an umbrella with you...

Each and every one of us is different
Each and every one of us the same
To let colors come between us
Puts each and every one of us to shame

So true, but even those of us who profess to be color blind and not prejudice, are still so at times in our lives...ed
Reviewed by Sage Sweetwater 6/26/2010
Perfect. An understanding that it takes hard work to arrive at a place of value on the spiritual color scale and arrive at the top rung, and stay on the top rung in good graces. Thought-provoking and earnest in delivery, the message is clear, Patrick. Your work has come full circle, something to be proud of.

Love,
Sage
