BLOG # 15: COLORS OF HUE

 As I wander into the unknown,

I fear that I might never come home;

Sky is dark and gloomy;

Woods are filled with uncertainty;

Howls, screech, shriek, shrill, reverberates into the air,

Evinced no hope but despair,

Manifest no strength but fear;

Jerks the eye a tear.

As I continue into the night,

I waved my dying light.

The arduous journey is about to end,

I now welcome the notion of death,

"Depart", I say. And Depart in life, I will--

Alas! I saw a light,

A colorful flash that slits through the dark,

I sought to ascertain if this be,

a figment of fantasy.

'Twas a bright damsel by the river;

A walking kaleidoscope

of conflicting polychromatic shades;

quilted to form an ethereal being.

She sings and hymn familiar notes;

Glowing brightly with every melody.

Allured and mystified,

I saw the damsel lit up the dark riverside.

I held my hands into the air,

tinges of color starts to appear.

I was a fading hue;

Rejuvenated and renewed by the colors of you.
