INNER SECRETS

Oranges, reds, yellows...

blanketing the horizons,

covering the mountains,

em-blazing the town.

Oranges for light -

subtle yet obvious.

Yellows to highlight the day -

visions of dreams,

hopes and desires.  

Red for intensity-

the heat of the noonday sun,

passion of a lover's bed,

violence of abuse.

All held dear 

within the boundaries

of love and addiction - 

that which drowns the Spirit,

empties the Soul

unless fought against

by truth, honesty

and sincerity of love.
