Color Of...G

It is the color engraved in your soul, the one that remembers the grass, the trees, that frame a bright, bright sky from the soft ground below. It's the color of clarity, the one that you find in the deepest pits of your heart, covered by anger, hatred, bitterness, and self-righteousness. It's the color of serenity resting on water that reflect the sky. It's never that far gone, even if you're surrounded by greys, whites, and blacks, perpetuated by fashion magazines, music that promote debauchery and degrading women, and action movies with predictable plot and uninteresting movie magic. It is the color that is said that can relax your eyes and prevent them from deteriorating due to staring at a computer or smartphone screen for extended periods of time. It's the color of summertime, where the heat rises and you begin to see puddles of water in the far distance, resting on burning asphalt. Those mirages, however, are not of this color. Those colors of bland and dark. It is the color that represents nature at its best, during birth and maturity. It is the color of the memory of the sweater of the person you love, whom you lost, whom you remember with respect and affection.
