Dawn
You ask what my favorite color is.
“Green” I say.
Green is the color of renewal.
the color of charity
and of challenge.
It is the color of forgiveness
and of faithfulness.
of gratitude
and of grace—of generosity
and of goodness.
It is the color of prosperity
and of productiveness—of chance
and of change.
the color of dignity
and of dreams—of destiny
and of desperation.
Green,
is the color of life
before living taints it.
It is the color that I was...yesterday,
just before dawn.
