Pride Poem 7- The Banner and the Palace of Pride
Red for life Orange for healing and celebration Yellow for brilliancy and sunlight Green, prosperity and growth as well as nature Brilliant Blue for Serenity and Soul Purple, the spiritual colour, representing being proud to be ones self. And more recently, black and brown for the people of colour, and pink, cyan and white for those who are trans. This flag, with the initial 6 colours, originally for gay only, now is a banner for us all. A shimmering rainbow, as a banner of sort of like our own kingdom. A place where Queens rule, a place for respect and kindness, a place to celebrate. And yet, there is still division. "Bi isn't real if you're hetero-dating" "Pan isn't possible" "Ace and Aro folk aren't allowed" "Allies don't belong at pride" Some people cry as they close the gates on their fellow denizens of the palace of pride. That isn't acceptable, we all are allowed we all are welcome. Whether you're aro, ace, bi, pan, trans, cis, and even allies. You're welcome here. The one
I dream of the days,
Of laughter and sun,
Of promises kept,
And of battles I've won.
I dream of the nights,
Of celebration and cheer,
Of tenderest words,
In an absence of fear.
Yet I live in a world,
Where all joy has fled,
Where life has no purpose,
And all hope is dead.
I relentlessly walk,
though all strength is gone.
A soul that is dead,
Yet my body lives on.
On this unending road,
My dark odyssey lies,
Astringent are the tears,
Ever stinging my eyes.
A path of contrition,
Upon which I tread.
Regretful of words,
Both said and unsaid.
Lost in this darkness,
I have become sorrow.
My past, dim and distant
And no hope for tomorrow.

leaves from the vine lyrics
Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy
Come marching home
Brave soldier boy
Comes marching home
Those leaves did grow
From branches overgrown
Drifting slowly down
Resting on the loam
Little soldier boy
Taken from home
Forced to fight a war
That's not his own
Leaves from the vine
Falling so slow
Like fragile tiny shells
Drifting in the foam
Little soldier boy says
"Carry me home"
Sleeping soldier boy
Is carried home
