Indigo, Saffron, White, and Lovely

As God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience. Bear with one another and, if anyone has a complaint against another, forgive each other; just as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. 

- Colossians 3:12-14

Clothe yourself with patience like your

Indigo linen pants flow down your legs

letting every wrinkle stay beautifully messy

cuffs caressing the floor just behind

Clothe yourself with compassion like your

saffron sari hugs your midriff

and moves with your belly each inhale-exhale

one with your breath your laugh your cry

Clothe yourself with kindness like your

white guayabera lightly hangs and breathes

reflects sunrays away so your skin

feels cool with the breeze and free

Clothe yourself with love like your

lovely skin drapes your bones protects muscle

sheds itself liberally when its time is spent

ever dying and renewing the body beneath
