Colors of love

Colors of love

Surely the color of love must be those of a rainbow,

That blesses the sky with its ethereal glow,

Red, like the promise of vermilion on a blushing bride,

Orange, that symbol of love for the motherland, of valor and sacrifice,

Yellow, like the love of golden childhood memories,

Green, the love of a mother that blesses her children, with glistening treasuries,

Blue, the color of a youthful sky, filled with infinite possibilities,

Indigo, of a deepening twilight, that reminds of the creators' majesty,

Violet, that bittersweet color of a beloved's memory

Or just perhaps can it be that no one color ,or hue,

Can express love in its form,true,

That perhaps they all meld into the one white light,

To remind us that all originates in love, the infinite.
