How beautiful.
You are a shower of prisms
all rainbow, rainbow
until I stop smiling -
-
please, don't stop smiling then !
-
-
Indeed!
If I should cease smiling for thee
no rainbow, pretty rainbow would there be.
I will stop smiling to needfully sleep
and your essential being I will then keep.

You are my rainbow, dear one! Every spectrum of bright, vivid beauty radiates from inside you. You witness it in each of your prolific pieces! Excellent short work!

Hey....
Very nice and true! Indeed it contains all colours, yet none of them.
Well Written!!

yes, my friend, like the Nameless, Formless One, Who contains all forms, yet none of them ...
glad you liked this ...

Well written
I think this is inspired by the colour white, and it beautifully defines the underlying paradox. Bravo!
-
-
transparency is my choice here ... the potential of all colors springing from colorless emptiness
but "white" was a great guess, and very close to it
thank you for the clappy !

How true it is. The colors of you are all and none, for we are so many things, yet so little. Wonderfully spoken as only you can, my friend.
This is only one aspect of the true beauty that is you.
Beautifully stated.
Best to you always,
