Colors

Red flowers bloom Like health and heart Or burning flame Or pooling blood

Blue flowers grow Like an ocean of waves Or a gentle stream Or a cloudless day

Green leaves sway To nature's song Like a forest of trees Or a grassy lawn

Orange flowers glow Like a beautiful sunset Or the core of a flame When it's lit

Pink flowers flourish Like little girls and boys Like silky ribbons Tied to presents and toys

Yellow blooms with fury Like an endless desert Or the rays of sunlight Near the end of winter.

White and black flowers, Like night and day, Like darkness and light, Different in every way.

A rainbow of colours Of every kind and shade Bright ones, Dark ones, Some pale and grey.

Every colour has meaning, Like every flower in bloom, Until death takes over And empties the room.
