Colors

James Vincient Johnson 1952 (Algoma WV)

Colors

There are an infinite number of colors
White is not always right neither is black
Nor any of the rest – A Devine sign and fact
Two further extremes of all infinite colors

See His rainbow left out black and white
They were His reminder of wrong and right
Enjoy all your colors between the extremes
And continue to watch their cries and screams

The lights the darks the blends and shades
In the end will be mended as one color
I remind you that today and in the future
There’s never another color like neutral.
