,,,Color,,,,

CRAYON 

You can find me in the zoo. 
Never  will I be the beauty of a  peacock.
I do not match with color blue.
I can be the color of a rock.
I am not the color that stands out to you.

My best friend is color green.
We make mother nature feel complete.
The color of the ocean is my enemy.
Drowning land taking away my color of space.
You find my color in chocolate, on a baby face. 

You find my roots deep in a forest.
I provide you shelter with the color of my wood.
My soils give you the beauty of a florist. 
My color can be changed from bad to good.
A simple color never understood

80% of of my eye color dominate the rest.
Before the butterfly leaves its cocoon
I support the bird in its nest.
I raised the pecan to seed with the moon.
A certain color that carries no tune.

My color is stored in a snickers candy bar.
A color that is not so pretty, but can be very sweet.
It can be worst, I can be  the color of tar.
I am the dark brown dirt under every ones feet.
Kidnap by the drains of water like thieves

Brown the color so messy, but yet so neat.
Brown I am as the deep blue sea.
