Chrysanthstars

in heaven there are other colors
the ones we cannot see on earth
for they are from a new dimension
our eyes cannot decipher here

they might be here
we just cannot see them
my first day in heaven taught me this
I was entranced by one in particular

she tantalized my artist brain
not an orange or a coral, not pink
somewhere in the family
a color we should have had in the sixties
when we painted things in orange, pink and yellow

she made me feel optimistic and glad
and she reminded me that I have been to heaven before
and will be back again after my next incarnation
she is sassy, exciting, bold, and wonderfully optimistic
I shall name her Chrysanthstars.

I just love this Caren! So ultimately creative and evocative. Yes, we have seen colors like "Chrysanthstars" before and rejoice in the hope of seeing her again. Thank you for the wonderful uplifting moment today. Will be on the lookout for her! Maybe in the Christmas star! Harvest and holiday blessings my friend!
