Secret Heart

True colors saturate the undeserving sky
Coloring the four corners of the earth with 
Transcendence light and a glittering message of hope
Propelling the marchers as they walk by in the ninety
 degrees sun.
 It’s radiant pigment dissolve in my face 
opening the gate to start a brand new race
it’s scary and unpredictable, and  the tension I once felt
that pulled me out of the well came on suddenly and disappeared
I have passed through this storm and made it home just before dawn,
And made a vow to the tree that I would never resurrect this feeling unless a naked tree is standing over me
 colors are sensual , colors are revealing,
colors are natural, the colors are real.
The grey clouds have disappeared and colors 
 are spilling  everywhere 
I can feel its vibration in the sun
and excitement bursting within the jubilant crowd
 The crowd kept coming and the colors keeps growing. 
When the world comes to a standstill
and the lights around you grow dim 
the colors will mesmerize you and strengthen you 
It will hold you in your arms and drench you with its charm. 
Thousands of people lined the street marching in colors that are deep
They have the stories that resonate from the past
Stories that are filled with glory and just a tiny sparks 
Will explode the passion inside you and embrace you in the light
My eyes kept moving around looking for you among the thick crowd it moves within crevices and corners but I could not find you
I can smell your perfume and the motion that you choose, a dog and a cat and a funny little hat so the marchers gave it all that they have got 
Suddenly I felt the presence of a shadow standing over me and a curious eye staring at me; black, brown, blue, yellow, purple, indigo, orange, red, pink green stretching at arm’s length 
And the secret heart warms my face, 
Colors are amazing.
