• The Colors of People

    Shimmering jewels.
    A thousand souls.
    Reflecting the light.
    Beautiful.

    The broken pieces.
    A hundred hearts.
    Reflecting darkness.
    Broken apart.

    A great, shining sea.
    So many waves.
    Washing on the shores.
    Cool, refreshing.

    Fires all aglow.
    The bright embers.
    Lighting the darkness.
    So bright, those lights.

    Proud streams of sunlight.
    Boastful and loud.
    Quite insensitive.
    So unaware.

    Stars in the deep sky.
    Pulsing, pulsing.
    Forever burning.
    Cannot go out.
