Rainbows In The Moonlight

Amber fish flying high above the other creatures. Stalks of 

hunter green oaks growing up, reaching for the pale, 

doughy white, moon light. The burning 

lemon yellow birds stand out swimming amongst the rough coral. Shades of 

scarlet and 

cobalt clashes with the bird's fluorescent scales catching the attention of all the animals around. A mustard bird hides behind a 

leather brown rock, its feathers shimmer in the moonlight, attracting 

charcoal and 

ivory predators thirsting and deprived of this beautiful pigment. A 

golden bird to the ocean is a fish to the air. Both swimming through the 

icy blue. Only when we stop looking between 

brunswick green trees and 

vermillion coral, jealous of the hues of another, can we find the true color in ourselves. Our 

rainbow tint reflects, shimmers, and shines off all of our vibrant and fluorescent scales.
