Tibetan Mountain Pass
Tibetan pass, prayer flags
blue, white, red, green, yellow
sky, air, fire, water, earth
Vibrant, then faded
as color carries hope
to sun-silvered peaks
Snap and swell
Defy the oppressive giant
Answer only to sky stream
Color’s breath
compassionate wishes
in the wind
Prompt: What Color is it?
Thought: Faded prayer flags are auspicious. Colors fade as good wishes are carried to all. They give me hope for this tiny country held captive by China

I love how you say that color can carry hope and compassionate wishes. What a beautiful experience!
Thank you. That is actually a Tibetan Concept
Thank you. It was!
Love sun-silvered peaks and the color fading as it goes out into the world. Is that what we do as humans? as grandparents?
Thank you
