I see the colors

The colors of love

 

 

I see the colors

By jack

 

 

Through shades of mostly amber tint

I gaze upon the pastures pure

The sunshine on the waters glint

A crashing wave on silken shore

 

Skies of blue in endless flow

Butterflies on painted wing

Mountain tops a’ white with snow

Daffodils that bloom in spring

 

A tiny brook on stones a’ play

Majestic oaks of new found leaves

Grasses in the fields to sway

Precious air for all to breathe

 

For this is now my life you see

Filled with nature’s wondrous views

A never ending tapestry

Of multi-colored rainbow hues

 

Each morning when the sun does rise

I smile as the world does bring

Beauty there before my eyes

As life is such a blessed thing

 

Not long ago it seemed so grey

Void of color’s brilliant shine

Narrow as an alleyway

Lost along a moment’s time

 

Seconds ticked, the days did yawn

Silhouettes against the cold

Misty skies of dreary slept

All around the sided fold

 

Still I managed to progress

Down the incline, back again

Hoping that some light would shine

Dreaming that I’d find it when

 

Then the day did round the corner

Like a waving flag displayed

I saw you and it was over

Sunshine cleared my rainy day

 

As if a veil somehow was lifted

Rainbows seemed to dot the sky

Smiles quickly found my features

Erasing every tear I cried

 

Now everywhere I see the colors

Just as they have always been

Since my heart has be re-opened

And your love has come within
