SPLENDOR

 

SPLENDOR

 

 

Saw the world the first sight etched,

Fascinated imagination far sketched,

Human life is bewitched by initial surprise,

Colors the spectrum astonished prize, (1)

 

Discovered gradually colors existence,

Flowers, bird's wings, animal presence,

Mimic fish in seas coral reef bemused,

Even fruits colored human skin is used, (2)

 

Lord's creation intent potent message,

Human emotion season climate craze,

Subtle presence color differs in meaning,

Red to halt yellow slow blue allowing, (3)

 

Sadly, humans use black, sinful, evil,

Human skin black inks pen on anvil,

White and black day and night stays,

Shadows grayscale playful dismays, (4)

 

Metals gems colorful, attractive taste,

The rainbow's seven colors, the arch crest,

Examined world offers color indeed,

Found discrimination cast or creed, (5)

 

White black yellow skin blood same,

Only red color blood vein blue tame,

Eyes blue, black, brown, differentiate,

Lost the message of Lord complicate, (6)

 

Humans discriminate, not living beings,

Spring arrives with splendor singing,

Happiness, peace, love, divine graces,

Human lust, greed, envy, anger, traces, (7)

 

Symbol life should burn the colors,

Revive and spread love live splendor,

 The morning sky is orange to bright,

Evening setting sun gray come night, (viii)

 

Twilight years, I realized brightness,

Why searching everywhere impress,

Sit quietly, watch the light brighter,

Garlands of flowers colorful creator, (9)

 

Love, deep within, for His creation,

Deep blue, the earth rotates in motion,

Unique among planets, colors differ,

The splendor of human life think to infer, (10)

 

The spring festival of color nature plays,

Spray color leaves flowers in many ways,

Discriminate colors decipher colors,

The splendor of human life, divine picture. (11)
