Colors in Motion

COLORS IN MOTION

Rose Hutcheson

Deep yellow made her sparkle the most.

Dark forest green made his eyes glisten.

The gentle hues of pink made the sunset feel heartbreakingly fleeting, never again would I see you in the same tint of pink.

The world in color is so beautiful.

To see you in different colors and backgrounds is such a joy. Who knew that you could look so entrancing from the contrast of a terracotta-colored wall behind you?

In my mind, I hope it’s just a really beautiful brick wall, even though I know it’s just you.

Is love seeing someone in all the colors? Or is it loving how different they are in each?

Even in the bleak slate gray of concrete, some shine.

I want you to see me in a different color.

But even in a tangerine dress that screams to look, you never seem to notice a difference.

Sometimes I think it’s a gift I was given to see so much beauty and vibrance in everything, but sometimes it feels like a curse, because will anyone ever see the colors of me?

But I take solace in the knowledge of how many strangers I admire. To see a soul in motion, mixing with colors and the pigments of movement and landscape.

I just can’t help but stare at the beauty that is color in motion.

So, though I will never be witness to it, I can feel the motion in my heart and feel moved, whether it is seen or not.
