It is from white all colours generate
It is from peace passions originate
There is a kinship between the two
Hues are matched with views it is true

Colours carry some traits of their own
In good and bad light they are shown
Green is jealous and also prosperous
Red is zealous and also dangerous

Violet is spiritual, orange sacrificial
Blue is the colour of love universal
Yet some may find them detrimental
And prefer white that’s elemental,

Silence is mind’s natural state
Where from umpteen thoughts proliferate
It’s ‘I’ that disturbs mind’s still lake
And Causes emotions to awake.

Like the colours that grace a rainbow
They may be strong, dull, high or low
If we keep the heart clear of ego
Along a tranquil path we can all go.
