release your colors

release your colors
into the world!
who knows
what dear soul
may be in need

of your soaring

magenta today,

the wildness of

your fuchsia,

the groundedness

of your burnt umber,

the soothing tones

of your greens and blues...

let alone your

own precious self, so

weary from holding
them all inside.
