Poetry Sunday ~ The Color of Hope

Pss.16: 9 Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope.

The Color of Hope

Would you paint it red

for the fiery passion

that’s lit inside

the essence of your being?

Would the orange of

your light be dashed

with flecks of stone

that ignite your heart?

Would it shine of yellow

like the sun that fills

you with the very light

of your soul?

Would you feather it in green

like the fields of color

that blossom in the

artists hue of spring?

Would it be cloaked in blue

like the depths of the

wavy ocean that’s

a part of your emotional stance?

Would it be disguised

as the indigo of life

warming your very fingertips

that brush the earth.

Or would it be painted violet

to add vibrancy to an already

living palette of bursting

breathing color?

Hope lies in the blush

of a colorful prism

that veils your world

in a bounty of love.
