SENSE OF COLOUR ? ANGELA & BRIAN ~ A COLLABORATION POEM

ANGELA & BRIAN



 

THE HUMAN EYE IS AN AMAZING ORGAN ~ IN BOTH FORM & FUNCTION ~ THEY SEE IN 3D

IN MOTION AND IN THOUSANDS OF SHADES !  NEVER TAKE YOUR EYES FOR GRANTED !

 

I like RED ~  YOU like BLUE 

We both like ~ rainbows too

Red - Orange - Yellow - Green & Blue

And flowers with a PURPLE hue

 

Every colour has a meaning 

RED for DANGER ~ GREEN for GO !

BLACK for DARK in Caves & Forests

WHITE for BRIGHT as WHITE as SNOW

 

 We have a Friend whose name is Paul

And he has been BLIND for birth

Never seen no colours at all ~ BLUE Skies

RED Balls or BROWN the colour of the EARTH !

 

And so I asked PAUL ~ What is RED ?

Its when Im warm & snug in BED !

And ORANGE ?  Its a Fruit you squeeze !

And GREEN ?  The smell and feel of TREES !

 

And BLUE the SKY  &  BLUE the SEA 

Thats how the colours seem to ME !

And what of MAUVE ~ I asked with trepidation ?

Ahhhhh PURPLE is GOD*s COLOUR !  He said sans hesitation !

 

So PAUL saw all the colours in his MIND

He FELT each RAINBOW colour ~ although always BLIND

By taste - by touch - by sound - by scent ~ each HUE intenses

NATURE always compensates ~ if we lose ONE of SENSES

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ LOVE ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก

    Just pray it don't rain! But why? Cos it starts me singing: โ€ฆ...'Showers of mercy and grace, Falling on every face, There is freedom'. Ooh, part a chorus type song from me, not from around 1066!
    Pity it's ME singing, but can't be helped! heehee.

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      SING ON BROTHER STEVE ~ And the WHOLE WORLD will sing with you ! AND (what is more !) will drown you out an make a harmonic peon of JOY to the LORD ~ AMEN

      Blessings & JOY to YOU and your HOWLING HOUND
      Love in the SPIRIT ~ Angela & Brian ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก๐Ÿงก + ๐Ÿงก

        THANKS CHRIS ~ Pleased you eanjoyed it ! We boh love all the colours in Nature and also the man-made colours of everyday life. Our Parents tell us they remember when TV was in Black & White which made it difficult to watch SPORT especially SNOOKER ! SNOOKER is like POOL but with lots of coloured BALLS ! Sunday has been a good day for both of us REST ~ PLAY & WORSHIP

        Blessings & Peace & Love for You & Yours

      • Fay Slimm.

        A wonderful reminder of the gift of colour in our lives - thank you too for informing us about the colours that Paul although unsighted can feel - - - a humbling read.

        • ANGELA & BRIAN

          Thanks FAY pleased you enjoyed ~ we know you like poems about PEOPLE. People who go blind in later life are of course cognizant of colour. People like PAUL learn it by association (like ORANGE = AN ORANGE !) and form a mental picture of colour which they then associate with texture & scent & taste etc. It is an interesting study because each Blind Persons perception of colour is different except for ORANGE ! As you say it does make one HUMBLE !

          BLESSINGS & Peace & Love

          Colours in our life are so important and so wonderful.

          • ANGELA & BRIAN

            THANKS UNCLE ANDY ~ Yes indeed the whole subject of colour & dyestuffs & piments etc is very fascinating ! I (BRIAN) studied Textle Chemistry at one time so I had to know all about the relationship between Dyes & Fabrics ~ fascinating. We take dyestuffs etc for granted and we (especialy the Ladies) expect to find everything ~ in any colour ! natures colours have of course always bbeen with us ~ AMEN

            Blessings to You & Joyce
            Yours ANGELA & BRIAN ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿงก
