The Colors of the World


The Colors make up everything we see,
the sky, so blue, the flowers, and the green green grass and trees, 
colors are so beautiful, 
so why can't we see,
that you, me, all of us,
black, brown, white, are just colors-
all beautiful, not one without the other, 
the colors are in harmony, so why, why aren't we?
If I could color the world, I'd color it a rainbow-
a spectrum, a blend of beauty, 
not one higher than the other-
just us, me, my sisters and my brothers.

  • Dear Mother

    Dear Mother, 

    I have missed you these past few months. 

    Where did you go? 

    I see you standing there, torch held high, yet you do not answer my calls. 

  • What Does It Take to See?

    What does it take to see the dandelions blooming in the spring, yellow manes bobbing in the wind?

    What does it take to see the sun slanting through the windows, to hear the tree frog's chorus in the night?

  • A Tree

    I talked to a tree just the other day, I was walking past and it did say,  

    Well, what are you? 

    Just a traveler. 

    But what are you? 

    Why, a human, of course, you didn’t know?
