Shades

Shades of jealousy,
Tainted colored memories,
You devastate me.

Fighting with fire,
In it’s glorious rage
You frustrate me

Shades of Pride
Smiles cheek to cheek
You intoxicate me

Fighting with the wind
In it’s sheer power
You deflate me

Shades of glory
Victorious times
You congratulate me

Fighting with water
In it’s peaceful serenity
You placate me

Shades of loss
Depression ensues
You blame me

Fighting with the earth
In it’s abundance
You stimulate me

Shades of truth
Moments that are lost
You are me…
