Intimacy of Colors

Where the colors touch

Influencing edges, blend

An intimacy forming

With simplicity, proximity

Drawing sensations in me

Waves of immeasurable colors

From just three into many

Mottled, messy, smeared,

Patterned, crisp, clean,

Whirled, moody, blurred

Newest green gleaned

Where the colors touch—

No spaces between

Oh How we weave,

Swirl our tones, views

Influence, witness, dream

Encounter, mesh, construe

Reflect, support, lean

Oh how organically

We create intimacy

Awash in belonging & meaning

Within the matrix of our lives

By simply showing up

To be near each other—

With our TRUE colors, beaming

Oh how with simplicity, proximity

Together we paint, express

Casting our colors of divinity

Revealing Nature’s Truth, Unity

Where the colors always touch—

No spaces in between
