Colorless

My eyes challenge you

Do they not?

Challenge you to see beyond the layers

Challenge you to see beyond one color

Challenge you to embrace them all

All the colors

I am an iridescent chameleon

Seeking to hold all the colors close

Wearing them as both protection and as a glorious garment

A beautiful resplendent chain mail

My colors confound those steeped in old traditions

Holding onto ideas that divide and split

In a land of separatism

The color blind are kings

If you can see me, I am amazing to behold

If you can you look outside of yourself

To see another’s heart beating

To understand another’s journey

Then maybe there is still hope

Let my eyes challenge you

To remember this life is temporal

Let your humanity account for something truly good

Revel in the colors, painted on a single canvas

Blended together, overlapping

Where does one start and the other end?

Read my eyes for the message in my colors

My virtual melting pot of color renders me colorless

What color are my eyes?

Does it really matter?
