Like many I few it is quite impossible to define colors to the blind. (long pause not a brit yet i like spelling color with a u...) Now on ward to our subject dear. Color i would tell them are light split into seven different speeds. The combination of this seven cause all sort of other color to appear. Join them together you will again get white. Black however is absents of light... Shall I go on to the three science primal color versus the art view point of three primal colors? I think not. I am prone to explain as have many other with emotions... yet this I must refrain from for too much has already been spoken about it...

I will speak of this instead. Imagine a spirit that has no form its shape always changing like the wind. It teases you and calls to you, You come nearer and it goes futures. You back off and it comes closer. This dance it will dance with you forever for it is love and hate. It is beauty and destruction. It is care and hatred. All at the same time. It is passion. It is red.

The next beast you seek is a gentle one, it is like a scarf that warms you in winter, a reminder of love and hope, hold it too close and your air will be cut off. It is your closest friend but like real ones they are the ones that can hurt the most. The more you care for them the more they care for you. In return they try to hide from you the small things that cause you pain but this small things grow to be big things and hurt you more than they should. This is a friend and this is a someone to beware. It is trust. It is yellow.

The next beast is kind and cold how can it be you ask. Imagine a beast that changes shape to how you response to it if you hold it close and dear it surround you and you are at peace, If you hit it imagine it moving like shadows around you chasing you forever, never again will you find peace. Simple it is cold to those threaten it and those it holds dear to it. It is kind to those who are kind to it. It is easily hurt and foe to those who hurt it. For it is a vengeful creature. It is a terrible flirt creature always wanting to be with someone. Even if you let it into your heart you will find this creature never truly yours for she seeks more ever changing never the same...She is like rain...In right amounts they bring growth and good harvest...in wrong amounts they flood villages and sink cities to bottom of it lair. It is something to be very wary off. This creatures hold many forms it is closest to us, for it is us the good and the ugly of ourselves. It is humanity. Do not think this is only the positive aspects of humans no it is greed,envy, anger and All that is human. It is also however blue.

This is my weird attempt to explain color in a new light. Tell me I am sick if you don't like it.
