A Mindful Heart

Those days were when 
I looked up to you, when
you wore your brightest red
and I wore my lightest blue..
I was miniscule compared to your
larger dimensions and yet..
yet I had this urge to protect 
the bright red you!
So I kept stuffing myself 
with water and air
ballooning to a deeper 
walls of blue
and thus grew much larger than you
but along grew the fissures in me too
all these time without intention 
I taught you to be mindful 
thus everything you saw
was a filtered view..
As I grew to seek and learn
the ways of the world
out of the blue
I happen to look at you
with what felt like ages!
Even with my best intentions
you were no more
just the bright red I knew
A prism of colors, I see
a whole new world grows 
inside you
signs of seasons flitting by
unknown to me
there also grows a version of me
the younger miniscule one
but in rich deeper shade of purple!
