Colors Poem by William Lindenmuth

Vibrant arc across the sky,
Spectral colors ascending, dances
Far beyond the reaching eye
To find its end will take all chances.

Like a heart of many colors,
Emotions fill a hollow soul.
From the gentleness of being
Happiness will be my goal.

Gentle winds, white clouds dancing,
Stroll across a clear blue sky.
Their images forever changing
A shining sun as time goes by.

Let me bathe now in your colors;
Immerse me in your gentle light.
Shower all you meet with kindness,
As day reaches into night.

Connecting dots on constellations,
Pictures drawn on cobalt sky
Slowly sink towards the horizon
Orion’s Belt has passed me by.

Morning’s light has softly broken;
The earth awakens with a smile.
Flower petals reaching outward
Hope this light will stay awhile.

I raise my head up from my pillow,
Wipe my eyes to clear this sleep.
Sitting, standing, slowly rising
Absorbing colors I will keep.
