Try Sipping Turquoise Tea

If grass was hue of violet
     And buttercups were pink
That would be so beautiful
     I’d have to stop and think

If rivers ran in purple
     To oceans white and gold
A regal portrait that would paint
     A vision unforetold

Yet are not green and yellow
     As striking as a pair
And are not waters blue and green
     As royal an affair

Why is it, color matters?
     It’s only what we see
Much more below the surface
     Try sipping turquoise tea

Remarkable analysis of the effect of color. "Vintage Gentile," if I may say so. Terrific. A fave for me! ~ Gershon
