Everything and Nothing

What I think of the word impossible and the color- and lack of color- it is.

It's blue and green and purple
The colors of the sea
Serenity and peace
The color of despair and pain
Of life and death
Of what we give and take
[Nothing is impossible.]

It's red and orange and yellow
The color of the sun
Vibrance and strength
The color of joy and laughter
Of friendship and optimism
Of what we think and do.
[Whoever said that never tried slamming a revolving door.]

It's black and white and gray
The color of a book
Acceptance and dreams
The color of right and wrong
Of everything in between
Of the past and future.
[Dreams are filled with impossibilities.]

It's everything, all colors seen
The color of a rainbow
Imagination and freedom
The color of jewels and music
Of song and dance
Of what we say and write.
[That's why they're only dreams.]

It's nothing, the absence of color
The color of an unwritten story
Innocence and purity
The color of faith and rain
Of the wind and hope
Of what we have and haven't done.
[Everything is impossible until you try.]

It's the present
The color of the soul
Love and light
The color of forgiveness and belief
Of whispers and secrets
Of what we've lost and what we'll gain
[If you can't accept failure, don't try.]

It's the color of lies and the truth,
Of memory and what we forget
Of every what-if and fear
It's the color of a voice
Of chances taken and opportunities lost
Of of what we fake and what's sincere
[Listen to all the reasons it's impossible, then do it anyways...]

Impossible cannot be defined as a single color
Not a tint nor a shade
It is everything and nothing at once
Translucent and solid
Opaque and clear
Faded and focused
Muted and distinct
A color not yet found nor named
One that is unique and ever-changing
[....because there's no such thing as impossible.]
