If someone asked me
how I would describe
color,
I would tell them this:
Yellow
is stepping outside in spring.
It is the welcoming
embrace of sun.
Green
is lying in a field of grass.
It is the rustle of leaves
in the summer breeze.
Blue
is standing in the light rain,
and the sweet birdsong
when the sky opens up.
Red
is the feeling when your hands brush;
her lips on yours, breathing the same air.
It is the fire in two hearts that beat together.
