The Colors of Change

The color of change is gold As spun by leaves of fall While lustrous trees unfold The color of change is white As brides emerge in beauty And new families take flight The color of change is green As nature is reborn All bright and new and clean The color of change is blue As I begin a journey To live, my friend, without you

Oh such a poignantly sad end to a beautifully written poem. The color correlation is amazing and sets the stage for the sad end. Totally enjoyed your write

I love how you went with the colors in this writing Mike, and then expressed the sadness with Blue relating to a loss of a friend. A very touching poem this is!
