Color



Color

Indigo blues  
cut out shapes
dance behind mattise like waves
In the light of chagals stained glass
mosaics of light and shade
Reflect impressions of meadows
behind pale blue skies

greening lemons  
on glazed white plate
set behind traced drapes
moving in the wind  
fade into morning light

dawning red
blazing within its moving flames
rising in its falling within the golden saffron
of crimson dreams

purple haze
on early dawn
through  faceless contours of time and age
wisps of fog drift pass us by
in the harvest of aging days
