Age of Colors
Blue—the color of the sea.
Loud and foaming. It constantly
Surges, never ceasing in growth.
The color of childhood.
Green—the color of the mountain.
Invincible and strong. Fully grown,
It towers over all unafraid of hurt.
The color of adolescence.
White—the color of snow.
Gentle and flaking. Ever present,
But brushes off, dissipating in time.
The color of adulthood.
Beige—the color of sand.
Crushed and broken. The mountain
Is chiseled down to a grain.
The color of seniority.
