Pride Day
Today’s a day when people celebrate
how fearfully and wonderfully they are made
how hard they have had to swim upstream
how toughened they have become
to errant judgement
which would bruise or batter most
and
to trod the path a little clearer and wider
for those who didn’t bring their machetes
Red to show that their blood,
is the same as everyone else’s
Orange to emanate a vibrancy,
an openess to love in all forms
Yellow to reiterate their strength
which like the sun, continues to rise and shine
Green to commemorate the freshness
of youth, those new feelings of finding a place
making a life, raising a family, achieving goals that once were not a choice.
Blue to recall the immensity of the movement
the boundless sky which touches all expanding hearts, a token of just how far we can go
by giving ourselves the necessary and nourishing water, we can grow ourselves strong
Indigo are those shadows that show us the shape of who we are and what we can become
Purple, oh delicious purple.
Wild, regal, magical purple.
Purple is for the Pride

I love it! You’ve sewn a furthermore magical symbol set deep in the weave of a weighty symbol, flying it higher and higher still. A marvelous honorarium. A fancifully new-formed color wheel of liberty, mirth, and meaning. To quote the poet, To life! L’chaim! L’chaim! To life! And beautifully written, to boot.
Color values! Gorgeous! An absolute celebration. Trod Trod Trod………off to work we go
