Blue is the color of calm relaxation
Giving one peace for quiet meditation
It is also the color that denotes desperation
A sadness, aloneness or dire separation
Red is the color of anger and rage
Caught up in a fury you cannot assuage
It is also the color that means love and lust
That leads to desire full of passion and thrust
Yellow is the color of sunshine and joy
That gives you the urge to go out and enjoy
It is also the color that cowards would use
When employing bravado for you to confuse
Green is the color of envy unfair
Of self absorbed people, who really don't care
It is also the color where nature abounds
Verdant and brilliant in all she surrounds
Brown is the color of earthy direction
That gives you time for grounding inspection
It is also the color of muddied emotions
That could give rise to negative notions
Gray is the color of numbness and grief
That makes you doubt your own belief
It is also the color of neutral equality
Not to be confused by inane frivolity
White is the color of innocence and purity
The giver of light and angelic security
Black is the color of darkness and evil
Of disruption and anguish and major upheaval
Purple is the color that signifies tension
Or moves you along to another dimension
It is also the color of spiritual protection
Of high ideals and soulful perfection

Heehee this was a good one to put in a a prewrite. I really liked the way you did use most of the colors, if you could choose a picture to go along with one of the oclors or all that you used that'd be awsome! Thank you so much for this entry, I'm going to go comment on your other one too.

Thanks for reading my work. I like this poem...it at first reminded me of the colours associated with the chakras..but you varied from that. THis is still great and almost seems like a metaphysical guide to visualisation with colours. Well written.
