what time is supposed to tell


(over time it blooms into many colors. a visual spectrum|a mental spectrum.)


its starts out yellow. because yellow is always bright. and its noticed. it should be noticed. it is spring and fresh and in it is all hope and wonder. yellow is the sound of a baby's first laughter. the color of a first day of school. yellow are the stars (sometimes white, but that comes later). its the color of the sun with your eyes closed. and the breaths of summer.

it starts to blossom into green shortly after yellow. its so lush and verdant. but not yet seasoned. still too ripe to take too seriously. here we have the (mis)potential of envy. yet at the horizon it only sees chance. and although it stands naive and unworldly it holds nothing but eagerness, anxiousness, as it reaches for the rope of possibility. 

it soon moves into blue, a niche so misunderstood that some never face it correctly. in blue one finds their self. it is the corner of the spectrum where life unfolds from within, to reveal its many (heavy but abundant) gems (sapphires). you can even see it from her shades: sky blue, midnight blue, royal blue, electric blue... still here she is celestial, introspective, mighty and dynamic. the ocean (ideas. movement.) waves blue. dreams (revelations. beginnings. signs.) come in blue. rain (cleansing. growth.) releases blue. it is the place where Beyond unveils herself. the simultaneous power of weightlessness while still being anchored.

next comes purple. the fountainhead of splendor, majesty and regality. in here one doesn't just see beauty; one understands it, one becomes it. the stellarness of this color is so intoxicating, that when truly recognized, ones world is turned completely around. all things are made better and greater. in purple one's life gains purpose. and suddenly the road ahead dazzles and life has never felt so rich and plentiful.  but the wisdom of purple is that with abundance, generosity must follow.

red is the color of passion. all heightened emotions are hued with the color red. because of this, red is often misused. its intensity is misinterpreted as anger. but it is pure zeal. the vigor and the fervency that the sun enkindles is red. the warmth and energy of red inflames our hearts. which inflames the whole world. selflessness is the color of red. to have compassion is red. vitality (blood) is red.

white is the color we see first.(beginnings). before our hearts were red, they were white, (from sitting on the Clouds for too long). when you wake up from a perfect sleep you see white. when you close your eyes to close the perfect day you see white. white is the color of true friendship and love. it is the color of serenity and peace. it is the color of the moon and it sheaths all wonder and insight. a cocoon of dreams and wishes and optimism. (the greatest of all 'wide-eyes'). at night your dreams fly up to the sky. and sit up there white. unforgettable and pure. your pure and white dreams hover in the universe forever. glowing eternally.(ends).
