Black...
Dead black
There is darkness before
light
Death before life
A solid flat blank
beginning before an abundance of beauty
A meager mound of
monotones before multitudes of majesty and magnificence
Red...
Hot emotions outline the
sunlight
In a painful passion that
yells so bright
Its heavy heated richness
tells a story of hatred
Hatred of how others only
hurt her
Of how unloved, unwanted,
unaccepted
And always rejected she
feels
And upset when her love
seems like nothing more than a steal
She emphasizes the
importance of being loved not loathed
Hugged not hurt, but
hesitation occurs
On approach of her
cautious and wary stance
For who would offer a
dance to
Someone who always seems
so entranced
In anger and pain rather
than joy??
Certainly not he who is
coy
So she fades into a color
of happier circumstance
Orange...
Delightfully dawdles
dreams and other things across the dusk sky
He paints tropical tangy
flavorful festivity
Using his cheerful
creativity
Now that things have
lightened up
Hes got to know whats up
And in
Whose done what
And when
To know whats happening
And whats the latest
thing
Its part of what he does
Since appointed to
dominate color
The electricity of his
enthusiasm sparks up another
Someone who greater
highlights
The smiles of people
brought together
Yellow...
Oh hes quite the fellow
So happy and bright
Hes got this impossible
sight
Of only love in life
No backs impaled with a
knife
Of only hugs and kisses
Where nobody misses
But that will never be
Yet that doesn’t bring
down his energy
He only smiles wider
Until confronted by an
outsider
Someone different and new
Makes
him wonder who
Is
this and what is their intention??
Hesitation builds tension
Conflicted and cautious,
yellow is at first careful
With his embrace of this
stranger
Then excitement takes
over
Hes ecstatic and
exhilarated
At the new companionship
So yellow introduces the
tree to mother...
Green...
With all the love and
care of a mother
She wastes not in time
when met with another
To welcome them with open
arms
And an open heart so that
they are not harmed
By the cruelty of the
world
But are protected and not
hurled about
Carelessly without
consideration for their feelings
Or other precious things
like respect
The trees twisting
twining taunt branches reflect
Her fondness for fresh
fertility, leafy life, and gleeful growth
Lovingly she lets the
lush richness of her color
Linger in the crevices
This not being an often
occurrence for any other
Must make the tree
special to her
So in celebration of the
tree
A sacred song is softly
murmured
About a sense of safety
in spring
Harmonious and humble she
wanes into
Another color of cooling
sensational things
Blue...
Young and true
Professionally parades
across the perfect sky
Presenting a powerful
message of peace
But I sense a deeper
sadness to his strength
One uprooted from a
soothing winter turned sour
But I know Blue
No matter how rough
things may get
He never lets himself get
to upset
His head only holds
higher to god
His hands squeeze tighter
out broad
From royalty to water he
remains loyal with honor
Next in line for the
crown is a woman sure to never clown
Purple...
Holding herself of higher
expectations
She establishes nothing
less than excellency
In times she can have a
sickly shade and seem artificial
But never doubt her
sophistication
Noble and proud luxurious
yet how'd
She become so soft and
sweet
So chill and neat
But mystics and mystery
cant last forever
So purple magically makes
room for another
Black, yet again...
Barges in inconsiderately
and ends the beauty
It takes out the fun and
joy
Killing the laughter of
girls and boys
Giving no one any reason
to think its good
But it doesn’t care
even if it should
It has a job and that it
will do
Without giving a damn
about who
And after its sinister
presence has gone
All over again starts the
pastel colors of dawn
