Analysis of A MIXTURE OF COLORS



 You are a piece of things you read,
The TV you watch.
  You are the words you speak and
Your thoughts.

You are a sum of the music you hear,
The people you meet.
  You are electrical impulses and
A heartbeat.

You are conversations you have,
The dreams you dream.
  You are the mountains, valleys
And streams.

You are a piece of what you get from
Each of these.
  You get in life there are no such thing
As guarantees.

You are the wind that blows and the
Sound of the ocean.
  You are thoughts, words, actions
And a new notion.

You are the brightest light in the
Darkest place.
  You are a puzzled look and a
Poker face.

You are a mixture of experience
And emotion.
  You are the tears you cry and words
unspoken.

You are a vast sea of knowledge
And existence.
  You are close by and you are the
Distance.

You are a contrast of family, friends  
And lovers.
  You are unique and a mixture of  
Many colors.
