Pulsating light,
an eye batting,
changing colour with each blink
purple heart in a red and yellow iris,
red in purple and yellow,
various shades of green in yellow,
yellow folding into a circle of red and purple,
and so on and on…
Each flash a different meaning,
all telling me to carry my heart on high,
open and proud,
I am me,
and at that,
you won’t beat me.
Bring in all your war drums for all I care.
No match for the cosmic family
standing behind me,
lions and dragons,
kings and queens,
here we are, here I am,
roaring, rising,
breathing fire.
