Mosaic
white-washed sepulcher, fallen from grace
green-envied token, broken to bits
red-glowed briquette, cracked across face
orange-juiced mandarin, shriveled to pits
yellow-faced fear, torn into shame
blue-blazoned sky, down-dripped with rain
violet-clad vixen, ripped until tame
indigo-heart shard, shattered in pain
we are all broken
yet
pieces of each
picked from rubble…
rearranged
blended
one
beside
another
in this
color-tangled
mess of life
and...
breathtaking
beauty
is born
