Color My Soul

Color my soul

in all the beauty

of the world

•

As I try to capture

the vibrance of this life

in the palm of my hands

•

Watching the sun

dance across the sky—

blue, gold and you

•

Like the bright colors

of spring will never end

and never give way

•

Green trees swaying

in the breeze of the day,

the movement of life

•

And I love it when

you are dancing too,

wearing my maroon tee

•

So wash over me—

like the afternoon rains,

but leave me your colors

•

Now, let’s take in the last

shred of today’s twilight,

greeting the black night

•

And with a gleeful pride,

we sit alone here nestled,

watching stars come to life

•

Yellow, silver and white,

and shades of blue too,

a glowing moonlight

•

And let’s stay right here,

through the tranquil hours,

until the morning sky is—fire!
