Experience Orange

Darkness envelopes your vision

Perhaps I’ll never understand you’re position

And the only way I can gift you

What you ought to have been given,

What should have been rightfully yours,

What I, and others like me take granted for

Perhaps the only way I can gift you

Sight

Is through

Sound

Touch

Taste

Why you’ve been denied, precious sight

You and I will never know

I can stand here, apologizing like the rest

While your blood boils at my chirpy zest

For something over which we have no control

Or, I can tell you what your timid heart has longed to know

I can try to make your life

Colorful, one color at a time

Today, I speak of the color of sacrifice

Give me your hands, chilled to the bone

Do not move, believe in me

Do you feel, this strange comfort

Of warmness healing your frozen fingers?

Be careful not to touch the flame

For, burning, scorching, searing heat

Will wring defeat

Upon your gentle, misgiving touch

These feelings of extremes

Are one and the same

This my friend, is orange

Come with me, to the great outdoors

Do you hear the chirping birds?

Listen to the rustling of leaves

Swaying with the gentle breeze

Bask in the glory of the wondrous evening

The Sun no longer high up, far above

Right now, the Sun is sinking down

Slowly, but oh so surely

Today has reached it’s near demise

The sounds you hear, is Nature’s voice

Bidding adieu to the blazing ball of fire

Which, at this moment, is in level with you

The skies mark their respect, to the glorious Sun

Their shade no longer different, but one

This right here, my dear, is orange

Vibrant orange, in all it’s incredible beauty

Is all around you,

It’s in the birds you hear, the wind you feel

This is the power of orange’s daily ordeal

Wait a moment, I’ll get you something special

Now come inside, here’s your surprise

I plucked it from the tree

You heard swaying in the wind

Put it in your mouth, before it drips

It’s essence all over your fingertips

Do you taste the sourness?

Do you taste the sweetness?

Perhaps you already know that this is an orange

But do remember that

The union of sweet and sour

Is the truth about this vibrant color

Perfectly captured, in a spherical fruit

It’s time to rest, do get some sleep

Who knows? Maybe you’ll get to see

Orange in all it’s sanctity

In your adventurous dreams

Good night

Tomorrow, I’ll make you see

Another color with me
