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.
