“Pristine” whites feel frigid cold, like ice.
Tiny tints of yellow, orange and red
feel "happy", “warm” or “sunny.”

They clothed and fed me as little...

And as silhouettes fade from sight,
scarlet bleeds from a dying sun,
marking the arrival of night.
Slowly absorbing pin...

Remembrance of Modest Decor

...The decor of laces,
And fragrance of lavenders,
In the land of Georgia,
With attire of antiques,

The melody of wind chimes,
Echoing in harmony with grand piano,
Like heaven is playing harp,

An Off-White Snow
