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
