Rainbow

Inspiration comes from many places.  Today, it came from coloring with my daughter.  Here is my newest poem and manifesto for the year ahead.

Rainbow

I won't live in the dark, 

or in black and white.

Not anymore.

I don't want to miss the rainbow.

Give me the mess....a chaos of spilled paint,

Colors bleeding together into a whole new hue.

One that makes me see the world tinted in a brand new way.

Each day I am full of empty places to be colored in.

Please let me not be so afraid of choosing the wrong color

That I miss out on the rainbow.
