Of colours..

Blue..the colour of dreams..close your eyes and think of oceans..the mighty roar which still cannot drown out the thundering of blood in your ears as you stare in exhilaration out over the endless sweep of water..feel the spray from the water leap out and drench you,surround you in the finest mist,take you to the edge of a world full of the dangerous,deep unknown..blue..the colour of infinity,of endless skies,of the heart of a flame,of soul music,of destiny,of hope..

A still quiet forest..a cry of a lone bird,echoing..mysterious eyes over a covered face..a sudden flash of colour in a stone which seemed almost black...a spring,gurgling and whispering its way over fields..Green,of spring,the smell of first rains,of the bright curiousity of youth,of peace,of a bubbling,wondrous sense of joy at life..

the heart of a rose..the madness of love..the gleam of power..a haze of fury..the quickening of heartbeats at the memory of a look,a touch...flames..burning,consuming,destroying..the taking of it all..the giving of it all...Red..of passions unchained,of danger ,of ecstacy,of no return points..



hatred in a strangers eyes..a cold,bitter frost withering a half blown flower...a pious voice mouthing snide platitudes..sanctimony,parsimony,the phrase"for the greater good" and " the big picture"...a dirty,muddy,sullen Grey..the colour of despair,of cold acceptance,of grim mornings and dead nights..

a baby's laughter...the colour of dawn..the sudden grin of a street urchin....the fragile beauty of a cobweb..a flash at the bottom of a quiet pond..the toll of church bells...old songs,old friends..old loves.Silver..the colour of confidence,of nostalgia,of waltzes.of dignity,of grace ,of benediction..

Courage..tawny eyes watching you in the darkness..a lions roar of triumph..the gleam of a sword being lifted for the last time..a heart,constant and true...Gold,the colour of goodness,the purity of truth,of unshakable faith,of strenght,of victory..

and finally..close your eyes..imagine a darkness greater than that you see..the dark of secrets..of buried truths..of quickly smothered cries...of a relentless,irresistible pull towards destruction... bewitching nights..hunger..of soul surrender...of power at any cost...the colour..or is it the antithesis of colour?..or merely a blank where colour ought to have been..Black..the essence of helpless nightmares and yet of an ultimate power,the colour of chaos brought with a compelling style,the terror of infinity combined with an awe of the unknown,the harbinger of death and yet an ultimate peace..the colour which can mean nothing or everything..the colour of endlessness..

take a look at the people around you.all of them are dominated by the colour of their innermost desire..colours,palpable auras of them,shimmering around people..wondering why you felt a sudden onrush of joy?you just brushed against orange..or why you felt calm all of a sudden?..green has just noticed you..or why you feel all vibrant and eager? blue is coursing somewhere near you..all of us,at all times will project some colour or the other..but our one true colour ,is the one which colours our hearts,the one colour that we are born with,the one that defines us,which makes us..or breaks us..So..what is your colour?
