If Truth Were Tangible

Posted on May 31, 2018 by purplepeninportland

Written for:  Poets United Midweek Motif~Truth

If truth were a color
would it be the golden
light of sun, moss green
of Mother Earth, or true
blue as a loyal friend?
In the end, if you see
these hues, they are merely
masks for what truth is,
clarity.

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.

    When we speak of color, can we speak truthfully? Perhaps our truth is only a hint at the truth?
