FAVORITE COLORS

When I was in school and a teacher asked my favorite color

“Blue!” I would quickly say.

But my answer would be quite different if I was asked today.

 

You see, today I’m more eclectic and my original favorite I must amend…

for now my favorite color is not a color…but a blend.

 

Sunrise is one of my favorite colors...it always makes me sigh,

how it changes every morning…as it bursts across the sky.

 

Sunset is another favorite of mine...it flashes a kaleidoscope of light

before it fades away to black…and ushers in the night.

 

Rainbow is another color I love…because after the heaviest and darkest rains

the sky will clear…and rainbow…is the color that remains.

 

And so I wonder…

 

If all the colors of humankind would blend together like nature…

Wouldn’t our acceptance of one another increase?

And wouldn’t that be the most beautiful color…

 

Perhaps…we’d call it Peace.
