My friend read my aura, saying I had a grey-purple aura, like the colour at the other end of the sky during sunrise, the one that's usually forgotten, but is the most important component. Aand I wrote this poem about it. enjoy.


Aura

I am the light at the edge of dawn,
the pale companion to the more compelling.
The almost-grey backdrop of beginings,
yeilding the canvas for the brighter shades
I am in everthing but only as a shadow.
I seek not the attention of the clouds,
nor give a silver lining
I exist for others,
offering my spine to the footsteps and smiles.
I am the frame of the picture
Just caught along the edges when focus is upon the centre.
I am there before the brightness,
pushed out of the way with no complaint.
I am there for those who chose to listen
beyond the edges of the flourished lines.
For those who look beyond the mainstage.
I don't mind obscurity.
I know my worth.
I know my place.
