~poem~ Halloween '17 - Orange is Back

Believe it or not I didn't even know there was something called orange is the new black until after writing this! The '17 orange is back? Because I've already written a Halloween poem and this one I wrote in 2017. It was really powerful to write as I kept being "given" dribs and drabs as I went from sleep to wake state. I thought it was finished but no! So pen and paper by my bedside, I was writing words that I didn't know the meaning of. When I looked them up they fit perfectly into what I wanted to get across. It was also inspired simply by observing how and where orange is worn by the masses. It's amazing the connections you can make if you simply be still, observe and absorb.

Halloween '17 - Orange is Back

by Charnjit

Halloween

A time to be seen

In Orange.

Because?

"Orange is the new black"

Orange is back!

A colour of courage, upliftment, desire

The powerful flames of the bonfire

On which we roast marshmallows

On this Eve of All Hallows

Let's celebrate with orange food

To uplift and improve our ebbing mood

Pumpkin, oranges, swede

Sweet potato, carrot

Ok, ok you can have some claret

If that is what tickles your yearning palette

Orange is the sacral chakra

Psychic and creative

For those who've passed

And those who live

Be they friends or foes

On this Eve of All Hallows

For some it's not just for Halloween

In orange that they are "always" seen

Construction, prison, monasteries

Funnily enough all on their knees

Working, repenting, praying

What's the message they're conveying

By wearing orange

The colour of Halloween

Who's the pray-er?

Who's the playa?

They all understand the pain of mire; the liar; desire

The message IS

We're all one and the same

Doing our best in this game

Called LIFE

Whether we're one of the straight and narrows

Whether we end up in the gallows

Or working our socks off on the fallows

Let's give thanks for this Eve of All Hallows

Where saints and sinners blend as one

Happy Halloween lovelies!

Happy Halloween
