imagine if you could see

what someone was feeling

what someone has felt.

turn towards your left,

and there’s someone who’s blue

a tangled mess of sapphire webs

and you would know:

that is sadness.

turn towards your right,

and there’s someone who’s green

a chaotic collage of emerald shards

and you would know:

that is envy.

glance behind you,

and there’s someone who’s yellow

a jumbling, wiggling, group of citrine

and you would know:

that is anxiety.

look ahead of you,

and there’s someone who’s red

a mix and match of rubies and painite

and you would know:

that is anger.

bitterness.

resentment.

but turn in a circle

and then you will see

that not all colors

stay the same.

whip back and forth

and then you will see

that blue turns to green

and red fades to yellow.

but imagine if you can see

what someone was feeling.
