Colors

Red

Anger and hot, smoking rage

Tongues of flame and a fiery haze

Passion unkempt and unreserved

Harsh bitter flecks stain our words

It comes, it lingers, it burns

In the hearts of those left to yearn.

Yellow

Hope and joy wrapped in a hue

Shining, singing, speaking the truth

Daisies and daffodils all in bloom

Tinting the edges of the moon

It douses us in citrus-flavored gold

Warms our souls as our days unfold.

Green

Life in the leaves of trees

Fresh and crisp and openly free

Welcoming and nurturing and lush

Reflected in the dewy morning rush

It brings balance to all our eyes touch

Flavors the air we breathe as such.

Blue

Solemn and mellow and cool

Embracing fish in a deep old pool

Comforting and kind yet distant

Lurking in our thoughts some instants

It tells the truth and speaks no lies

Awakens our bodies and our minds.
