Give birth to all the colors

Albert's Poetry Cafe ~ Poeticpiers "FUN WITH FORM" Tankanelle a form devised by Board Flak

 

Give birth to all the colors

Breathing in and out

Be in this beautiful Earth

 

Receive and give all

Accept the love light

The path of truth and peace

 

Illumination

Feeding minds and hearts

Building the human vision

 

The recognition

The understanding

A memory of wildness

 

Be overwhelming

By the world’s echoes

Quench your thirst of knowledge

 

Beings of Wisdom

Fountain spring of light

Give birth to all the colors

In this universal space

Give birth to all the colors!!!
Amazing words, amazing state of mind. I imagine streams of rainbows flowing through earthlings as I read.
It is passionate and pure, and I guess I'm just completely partial to your philosophy of life.
