The Timeless Language of Color

If God’s favorite color

Was gray

Then don’t you think

He would have made the sky

Gray?

Or the meadows

Gray?

Or the ponds

Gray?

Or that

He would make your skin

Turn to ash

When it touches the sun?

Or that He would have

Filled your blood vessels

With cement?

Or

That He would have poured dust

Into the eyes

Of your lover?

If God’s favorite movie

Is in black and white

Then why does the earth

Look like a marble

Dropped from heaven?

What if

God speaks to us

Through the timeless language

Of color?

Maybe God

Wants you to open

Your colorful eyes

And wake up

To see the damage

We’ve done

By looking at the color

Gray.
