The Life of Color
Soft beams of amber light break through
The transparent curtain of dreams to wake us.
The golden hues fall over the tops of evergreen trees
And rest gently on the heads of rabbits,
Peacefully reviving the Earth and exaggerating
The vividness of life.
Rosy pink dresses twirl along
The creamy white sand of a beach.
Of which coral seashells dot the shoreline.
A child in bright polka dots
Runs across the red hot sand
To take some of the humbling treasures for himself.
Royal blue kites mimic the movement of dragonflies
And dance gracefully among the pearly clouds.
A man picks a delicate lilac flower
Turning a crimson red as he gently delivers it to
A woman glowing with delight,
Hidden in a meadow of lush green.
The sun disappears, lighting the sky red with rage
And the quiet moon takes her watch
Casting her silvery shadows upon us.
With the pale moon above my head,
And her following me wherever I step,
I know that I am home; I am safe.
Color fills my wondrous eyes
And leaves in me something spectacular.
There is no color of life
But there is life to color -
Color is what brings life to the world
And color is what brings life, to me.
