Nature's Palette of Colors
Colors abound around me,
Green, yellow, red, blue,
Purple, brown,
Black, brown and several hues,
And all are from nature,
It’s a full palette of nature’s colors,
Who wrote the codes for these colors?
Why were they needed at all?
We could have as well had a BW life,
And lead lives like pigeons in fact,
I am not a man of science,
But have read it a wee bit,
Somewhere we have explained,
That how some colors are used in nature?
But we have not catalogued far,
Perhaps each color serves a purpose,
A chemical,biological and survival one perhaps,
I am looking for the day,
When somebody someday might tell me,
Why so many colors here should be.
