Colors of Life

Why do I live?

Closing your eyes against the sun

Hot sand between your toes

Sleigh bells ring

Red

The sun melting into the horizon

Sitting before a fire

Roasting marshmallows

Orange

Reading a new book

He says hi

A melting popsicle

Yellow

Lying under a tree

Finding the world has changed

Moving away

Green

Those days in the rain

Closing your eyes

Against the tears

Blue

Running through a field of flowers

Smelling intoxicating lilacs

Getting a hug

Purple

Your first kiss

A baby reaches out to you

Flowers from him

Pink

I live for the colors of life.
