Flying Colors


In every battle

There are colors that paint

As the time ticks and

The brush strokes

Hues are seen

Not by the eyes but

By the heart that leaps like ghosts.

Yellow says yes under the moon's romance

And the green transcends

The inevitable tie of tea and man

Calm, fresh and life well-loved

For the red comes aglow

In the mother's breast

And the cradle that gathers

The angels--mirth and hope

Captured in the bottle, preserved.

Never will they pink

For the orange and purple will mingle

Like a chamomile orchard and apiary

Where the gentle wind brings forth white

The color of handshakes and doves

Then the feathers caress

The dreams of the young

To tread the road, to meet one

Who will help her loads

And the blue foreborne

As well as the dark

For they are perched along the way

There at all times night or day

Even the rainbow could lure the sight

For years it's chased by thousand knights

It's not there yet it hid

The golds of which the colors where not yet told.
