Ode to Love

Oh you color blind And tone deaf far from our hearts How will you be healed? Can you not see gold Hiding within Christmas lights Still hung up on green? The curtain of red Traveled to through realm of white Conceals a black veil I lay beyond it Even here declaring "Yes." "Yes." for one alone Do not hearken it Unless your name rhymes, sailor With feet like lightning A million times "Yes." This cup overflowing hues For families unheard Rafters have been raised 1,000 generations To each their own place Echoes and rainbows With precision heard and seen Love and joy unique 

What you say happens, what I say happens Must one of us stay silent forever? What I think happens, what you think happens Can this end in anything but "never?" How can one walk away from one so close? I don't remember, don't think I want to Even in the net I wonder of gross Though colors respond to sharpen moon's view Desired and devoured spectrums grow Until pinpoint accuracy is found Radio still signals strangers below Up so high, don't think I've forgotten ground Through infinitely small angles we sift Lover, strangers, friends, and family the gift
