IRIS
The Greek goddess of
the rainbow is also a word used for the part of the eye that controls
the diameter of the pupil. When when experience colour we find that
the different hues speak to our feelings in different ways e.g. red
feels energetic and "advancing" towards you, while blue
seems more relaxing and taking you "outward". Is the
experience of colour purely "subjective" as normally
claimed by science or is the boundary between us and the universe
more reciprocal- do we live in it with our consciousness and does it
live in our awareness?

IRIS
This
messenger of heaven’s light
reflects
wide rays as shining bow;
and
arcs soul spectrum of the sight,
from
dark to light: day-colour flow:
band
of red’s creative flame,
warm,
enfolding orange glow,
yellow’s
keen and brilliant beam,
green’s
heart balm like lasting calm,
sky-blue’s
far-illumined noon,
indigo’s
deep-silent might,
violet’s
dark-soothing night.
As
shimmering in clearing sky
lives
Iris, rainbow-bearing sight.
The
light lives in the eye;
the
eye lives in the light.
