Analysis of Palette Free



Musical words and painted phrases,
  dance around my memory

Reds and Blues and vivid Gold’s,
  rush across my bridge of dreams

Stream-streaking into the sky,
  their song a magic portrait

Clouds chanting in vibrant hues,
 —as the light sings palette free

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2017)
