Why Do We Dream In Color

WHY DO WE DREAM IN COLOR

Slime-green jealousy of serpent,
Recoils around forbidden spread.
Eve’s curious of its foul scent.
Why do we dream in apple red?

Eyes look up at the dying sky.
A plethora of silent doom.
Each new dawn causes tears to dry.
Rainbow petals of dreamy bloom.

Dried red resin upon crossed wood.
Mercy causing our knees to bend.
God looked out for the greater good.
Why do we dream in color, friend?

Maurice Rigoler June 27, 2017 at 12:32 PM I'm don't think your poem answers the question of your poem? I will say, however, despite science, that I dream in color and I play piano pieces I've never heard! Science isn't the know-all. Yes, I am a conscientious gardener, but I come first over bugs. Thanks for stopping by. / M Kim Rodrigues June 27, 2017 at 12:39 PM Thanks, Maurice :)
