Analysis of Colors
A purple sound comes humming
In a yellow dawn's full bloom.
Red eyes read the rising
Of another marbled moon.
And the jagged, blinding whiteness
That crowned the sightless night
Sleeps above blue heaven
And the rainbow's prism light.
Green life lifts and stretches.
Aqua waves anoint the shore.
Brown bodies kneel and kiss the earth.
Black yields to blue once more.
