Kaleidoscope Dreams

Green…you always reflected in my peripheral And kept watch as I tried to color my world But there I lay in my blacks and my blues, lifeless and faltering In monotone hues. Through kaleidoscope eyes, I envisioned my skies But the pot at the rainbow was storybook lies so with nothing to gain and nothing to lose, I just shuffled around In my blacks and my blues. Never did I imagine you!, Green… to be my savior But there you arose, out of my dark abyss With your bottle green dress and scarlet kiss Your emerald green eyes and unbridled bliss. Now my kaleidoscope dreams have all been unfurled Since you Green, have colored my world You rescued my heart, Green You rescued my heart.

Wow my honor that you would add this to your favorites. So glad you enjoyed it. I did enter this in the green contest but there was some heavy competition, im just glad it pushed me to write this poem. It was inspired by my beautiful wife and the green dress she wore the day we met when my whole world was changed. : )

Green means something else to me now. The way it read in your poem, it transcended simply being a color and became its own entity.
