Colors

Red and Yellow chained together by White 
long before the mixture turned black. 
Pounding and pounding together in the heat of the sun, forging an endless track. 
Many a sun and his sister go by and you dwell on the past. 
Stand in your shoes today, 
and not those with the holes in the souls that you threw away. 
Do not preoccupy yourself with judgments of colors with dark patches. 
Keep clear of illusions and seek the purity of a rainbow. 
Use your colors so that the world understands beauty. 

Ode to a poet

Ode to a poet - by Ken Bravo to Maya #MayaAngelou

You can fight with words
be right with words
have sight with words

You can LOVE with words
rise above with words
Be IN LOVE with words

To inspire a desire made of fire
to calm the sea with wind
to paint the art of air
to touch all that is there.

You have brought life to all that hear
your words from far and near
You will sign your name from above
To my children, from Maya, with Love.
