Color by Ame

There can't be light without shadows. Shadows exist where there is light. Colours are nothing but different wavelengths of light.
You are standing in a forest, arms stretched out. The air smells like leaves and wet soil, a somehow echanting and intoxicating smell. You run you fingers down a tree bark, over the ground, feeling all the life forms thriving around you. All this, the work of Mother Nature, the feeling of the colour green.
Pause for a moment, standing under the sun, head lifted to the sky. Stare too long, risk getting sunburnt. A warm sun on a winter day, a cold drink on a summer day. This is the nature of the colour yellow.
However, life is not all fun and games. Feel the shadows around you. Pain. Grief. Shame. Heartbrake. The feeling that makes you want to curl up in despair. The empty void that envelops everything in the end. Feel the aura of darkness. Welcome to the realm of shadows, this is black.
You can't hate someone more than someone you used to love, yet, enemies become lovers all the time. The significant other of your life, someone or something that you can't live without, making you never wanting to let go, feel passionate. Old scores that needs to be settled, your hands itching for revenge, feel vengence. Red can be a colour of war, but it can also be a colour of love.
Finally it's time to stop. To calm down and be submerged in deep thoughts. Hopes and dreams that are yet to come true. Smiling sadly at those happy memories. Your subconscious floating through the merky depths. Time to stop running, you feel at peace here. Drown forever in the feeling of the colour blue. This feeling, a little sad, but a little hopeful, too.
