No Name

Touched the sky—
 this blue isn't mine.

The sea, the greens,
the grass, the bees,
the mighty trees.

Every color touched one life.
Then why does mine deceive the eye?

Borrowing shades from every passing thing
Could that be why
I sit alone in white light?

The palette holds a thousand colors,

yet none can paint me.
It's always what meets the eye.

The palette never seemed mine.
