Our worlds are full of colors inside of us.
Purple, pink, blue, and light yellow,
all floating around
and fading into each other.
Our souls are full of vibrant, colorful clouds.
Their emotions are strong
yet always calm.
There are pink clouds
of love and warmth.
There are blue clouds
of logic and rationality.
But sometimes, the mind produces dark clouds
that deepen into the cracks in our bodies
and cover the spectrum of colors
that we house within ourselves.
The dark isn’t there to dissolve our other colors,
or ruin our bodies
or our days;
it’s there out of fear.
Although protective,
these clouds are negative,
put there by toxicity in the external world,
because no clouds genuinely sourced
from inside of us
are ever dark.
None.
And when we close our eyes,
we can see the dark clouds
and just by looking at them,
they fade away.
Darkness only lives when it is hidden
and no one notices it
or shines a light on it.
All we have to do is acknowledge the dark cloud,
illuminate it,
and we can see our colors again,
forever living in harmony.
And when your inner world is gray
and you can’t tell if a cloud is dark or colorful,
see if the cloud wants you to do things out of fear
or out of joy.
See if the cloud is dancing.
When life is gray,
stay with the clouds
that are dancing.
