Blended Original Painting

Known for its poem, this is the original painting of Blended. 16x20” acrylic on canvas, in black floater frame.

Blended

You are not like me
Says yellow to blue
While cyan says to magenta
We are a different hue

Words can be harsh, as man draws his lines
Seeing our differences as something to divide
When in reality each one of our lives
was planned before time
to coincide
In such a time
As this.

And instead of division
What if we came together
To combine and see
The new colors we can make
As blue unites with magenta
Giving birth to purple
Where yellow finds green
while meshing into blue
And in each difference
We stay true to who we are
And unite, not to conform,
But to transform
In the power of love-
For love is the brush in God's hand
That blends us, unites us
Together as one, while still knowing our individuality
Creating a masterpiece out of who we are
A light for the whole world to see

So come out of your hiding-
Break free from the lies
And shine in your own unique hue...
For God know exactly what this world needed
When He created YOU.

Camille Soltani Icely
