The Color of Love

Photo by Karen Wood

What is the color of Love?
I asked, expectantly ...

I saw a rainbow explode
Within my Being ~
Each speck of rainbow debris
Birthing a new universe.

I saw a newborn babe
Suckling at its mother's breast,
Drawing sustenance
For a lifetime journey.

I saw
Radiant suns,
Luminous moons,
Brightly painted birds,
Flowers pregnant with vivid hues ...

This ~ and more ~
Unfolded before my mind's eye.

Then all vanished
As the Breath of God
Blew everything away
And Breathed into my Soul
A new understanding:

The color of Love
Is all of this ~
And none of it.

The color of Love
Cannot be seen
Or Named ...

The color of Love
Can only be known.

The color of Love
Is All That Is ~
Pure Existence
Breathed into Being.

It can only be "seen" ...
Reflected.

  1. Your insights are beautifully phrased, as always. They remind me to reread my great aunt's poetry journals. She,too, wrote from divine inspiration. So much wisdom is available if we just tune in.
