A Colorful World

~A Colorful World~ The golden leaves reflect on the river. It’s idling along catching silver slivers The brown bush casting seeds at the side Waiting for the spring birds to carry far and wide. The green new shoots pushing noses through Testing the weather before they renew The pink of the cheeks on the children that play Wrapped in colorful warm play clothes today. The grey of the mist as it starts to descend Proving winters not ready just yet to end The blue of the sky mocking above Giving a glimpse of a hope like a beckoning love. The colour of the world amazes me today When I was a child everything seemed so grey When did the colors start to emerge? I think it was when two lovers did merge.
