Colour

a poem by Yasir

Abstract but revealing a lot
Differentiating between extremes
   The earth and the sky
   The clouds and the seas
Or representing different phases
   The red for the wed
   And the white for the dead
Or the difference between likes
   The blacks not to be
   And to be the whites
Or the diverse emotions
   The rosy for the smile
   And sanguine when angry for a while
Or marking the natural changes
   The spring by the green
   And brown winter with leaves unseen
But then a sense of oneness
   The colour of blood
   Characterizing common belongingness
Only abstract but revealing a lot
But for it one couldn’t rejoice
Life would be a fair
Without a voice
