about

of Choice and Origin:

We emerge
from light unfound.

Though earth be father, and mother sea,
we don those luscious greens with gilded gold,
forsake the soil,
to vie for sun’s glory.
Blanch rich blues
and reach for whiter sky
we yearn to be.
unearthed, unsea’d.
This art of choice
of want, of wish, of desire,
sucks light from without
into blind world within.

Until
beauty of mother earth’s dirt, father sea’s salt,
those muddy colors and murky hues,
bend beams of grit, truth, and pride,
art of origin,
hearty light and color glowing,
from inner melting, familiar warmth will yet be felt.

We emerge
from color unfound.
Shade radiating from rich history to ricochet off time’s return.

So,
Let artful light into world’s window,
of Choice and Origin,
glow and grit,
our color reflecting onto others,
others onto ours.
Let rays illuminate looking glass partitions
with abundance;
a dazzling radiance glistening on wondering eyes.
