spectrums

you will have friends

who are spectrums

hiding behind

a colorless mask

red will burst

from the seams

of black

and white,

impassioned frustration

caged by fear

and self doubt

you will have sisters

who write poetry

on landscapes

of soft skin

orange will bleed

from the wounds

of right

and wrong,

cautioned desire

for the dreams

of loving her

you will have brothers

who are knights

in search

of a prince

yellow will sing

from the hearts

of sir

and sire,

royal devotion

to the hope

of being kings

you will have daughters

who are sons

and sons

who are daughters

green will sprout

from the souls

of lost

and found,

verdant discovery

on the voyage

of finding truth

you will have friends

who are colorless

hiding behind

a spectrum mask

blue will leak

from the eyes

of pain

and loss,

tranquil misery

in the guise

of painted joy

you will have people

who are soldiers

marching upon

a colorful earth

purple will bind

each fighting breath

of change

and peace,

unified hearts

in the spectrum

of equal love.
