– Ralph Waldo Emerson
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
My heart is green
with the fuzz of springtime growth
borning life again
from the rich, bloody soil
it throbs anew
💚
My mind is blue
as the sky in sunshine
then
like the night full of stars and glittering tears
it diamond sparkles
💚
My life is orange
as flames in a forest
fire
breathing the wind
it grows wild
💚
My love is red
there is no hiding it
passion
real as anything
it woos pilgrims
💚
My touch is gold
hands, lips on wounds
aching
for velvet skin, shared breath
it heals all
💚
My soul is pearl
creamy and warm
welcome
to all who come
it opens hearts
💚
My word is platinum
I seek only truth
wisdom
life with integrity
it unlocks doors
💚
My work is emerald
deep as the world
brilliant
full of riches
it creates wealth
💚
My legacy is silver
of the finest made
pure
nothing for me
it’s all about You
💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚
