I close my eyes and all I can see,
are beautiful colours surrounding me.
Too many shades for me to count,
but each one glowing, never flickering out.
Every colour, of every hue.
From darkest purple, to lightest blue.
And each one has a different meaning,
from deepest love, to absent healing.
They feel hot and cold at the same moment.
They shine and glow with a dancing movement.
I let them surround me and fill my being,
knowing they are a gift, from God the All-seeing.
I feel the upliftment they give to my heart.
the love and the brightness, of which they're a part.
But soon they must go and leave me here,
in the darkness, but knowing no fear.
As a few stay behind to help me each day.
to reach needful souls that come my way.
So I thank the spirits that bring me the colours.
And I thank God for showing me their wonders ...
