A colorful explosion,

a kaleidoscopic implosion,

a vibrance shattered amongst

the ends of the horizon

and scattered across the galaxy

with its tinge appearing

in every shade

of the sunrise and sunset

painting the crimson laced sky

in the wee hours of the day

the burst of the colors

those glittering and spellbinding

sending the vibration

throughout the galaxy

in a frenzy only to be

experienced by you and me

the way it has been layered

and hidden in the strata

of the earth

and the rising from

the core of its womb

that exuberance and the warmth

is carried by your smile

that little indentation in your skin.
