Color Of Mind
Julie Cohn 1994 (Broussard, Louisiana)
Immense hues of blue
Oceans of sapphire crystal
Waves of colored skies
All shooting like a pistol
Fires blowing clear crusades
Abandoned flowing surge
Jolted brightening stars
All starting to emerge
So much fellowship of gray water
The pureness in joined hands
Grouping fallen cuticles
All coming together in strands
Chasing beautiful nectar
Standing still for the smell
Preventing velvet ripples
All eyes starting to swell
Courage of all colors are struck
Combined forces of smaller shade
Forming a path of ridicule
All attempts are starting to fade
Cherished quarrels of purple rains
A storm so strong it crushes day
Bending any arms around pale hope
All color has began to decay
Orange catastrophe emerging
Blackness swallowing any explosion
Tsunamis of crashing white water
All in complete revulsion
Cringing in fields of green
Watching broken leaves burn
Resolving missing puzzles
All worlds starting to relearn
Turning empty to thoughts
Forgetting the simplest shade
Planning curves of shadows
All of our fears afraid
Creating the new beauty
Stealing luck from clover
Destroying endless complexity
All sight has frozen over
Cutting the smallest light
Envious pupils have gone blind
Attaching souls to pigment
All in the color of mind
