The Ultimate Dreamer

The Ultimate Dreamer

Red and yellow and pink and green,
Purple and orange and blue,
I can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow too!

Listen to your heart,
Listen to your heart,
And sing everything you feel,
I can sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow,
Sing a rainbow too
- Arthur Hamilton -

How many of you remember this rhyme?
I use to sing this as a child...before I moved on to trying to remove the lyrics of the colours on Joseph's Tecnicoloured coat.

"It was red and yellow and green and brown,
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach,
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn,
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve,
And cream and crimson and silver and rose,
And azure and lemon and russet and grey,
And purple and white and pink
and orange and BLUE!!"

You must be wondering why I am preoccupied with colours today...cos someone ( who nowadays exchanges verbal wit with me) tells me that perhaps.."There are more than 7 colours in your rainbow". Lets see, in school, I was taught the mnemonic Richard of Your Great Battle in Vain...red, orange , yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

Are there more than 7 colours in that myriad?
Of course there are...

For me, a rainbow, is not just a rainbow...
or that the most beautiful creature in the world is a unicorn....or even Pegasus...

I have learned to temper Dr Jekyll, with Mr Hyde.
I have to allow the Popular Sanguine coexist with the Perfect Melancholy.
I do not allow the klutzy tone deaf person take away the graceful ballerina in my mind...

These past few days...I focused on dreams...and intentions.
I cannot afford to lose my sense of wonder...for time, and time again, it allows me to return to the very recesses of my brain...and let go.

We need to have faith...we need to believe.
We need to have something that will allow is to really buffer us against some of the harshness we see around us.

So as I dance in my dreams...I will chase my rainbows...They keep me sane.

I dream in colour...do you?
