Sound and Color

An elderly man sits in his rickety chair
He tells stories of mystery and wonder
A dark blue is the color of his hardy voice
A young girl yells at her boyfriend
She shouts profanities and truths
A hot pink fills the air as her voice squeaks vehemently
A male announcer talks calmly through his microphone
He makes mention of actions taking place in the moment
A light blue beautifully contemplates his soft voice
A mother rocks her baby to sleep
Humming lullabies to her newborn
A nateresque green creates a comforting blanket
I have synesthesia
This ability is a blessing and a curse
When I listen closely
My world is a rainbow of colors
When I block out noise to alleviate the chaos
Colors disperse into silence
Creating a vast life of intertwining madness and peace
