Color Us Sacred

Listen to the colors That linger here and there They breathe ever softly Finest dust in sunlit air In every tint I have discovered A guardian of hope has painted A spectrum unique to each their own Though by trials of life their vibrancy faded Faint echoes behind walls we know The search is on for a particular soul Though eyes be filtered as their color passes It's a longing we never outgrow Color us sacred As our journey begins Pigments and brush in hand Guardian of ours dancing upon the winds Your gift is a canvas Clean and pure Not history's black what color was that Your gift is yesterday's cure Color us water pouring Over rains sweet grass of green This love of my life Color him aquamarine Sift my eyes with his beautiful shades Of cornflower and sapphire blue As I turn the corner into red The color he brought to my bed His beauty is lavenders scent Unswayed by the darkest grey Please color him in shades of pink That our passion may never drift away Guardian splash us with your yellow serum Uncanny freshness on our modest ranch With your golden sunsets and pearl moon Reflecting diamonds there as we dance On days when memories colors So sharp and vivid come to mind Color me orange my happy tone Leaving those others behind When our leaves begin turning to orange and red And indigos skies loom overhead Remind us of a copper sun Nay the heaviness of lead Under Eden's sky the topaz rabbit stood still You painted us authentic earth and blues Forgetting the regret of scarlets past an abstract Recreating a beauty we could never construe Color our years passing by In shades that ground us like plum Grant us sweet anticipation Of all the colors to come Paint his arms around my waist Our kiss a precious tone Paint us with a substance indissoluble A color all our own
