Blended
Layers of blended colors
One over another
Hues of every shade
Depth beyond what you know

The soul is a painting
Abstract but beautiful
Splattered in red and maroon
with violet smeared in between

Some with contrast so strong
the soul seems to be in pieces

There is one soul
one that every color comes together
reflecting light against each figure
each figure coming forward in the right places
and some falling back

This soul is in all of us it just needs a few more washes of blue and yellow
a highlight here and there
a maybe an added shadow in the back

Souls are paintings that don't stop changing
