COLOURS 

Bright colours

on pastel shades

Telling black and 

white stories

Of purple tinted

jelly beans

And brown and

greenish flora

 

Indigo banners

are now unfurled 

Showing yellow

violet and green

Rainbow trout

with purple mouths

Swimming in

a colourless stream

 

Oh show me the colours of life

To see it's light and shade

Through God's own kaleidoscope 

Observing how they're made

 

Fade to grey

or blush to red

In the petrified forest

we see instead

Colours merging

light and dark

Brown and maroon

on each tree bark

 

Colour me an animal

colour me a bird 

Join up the dots

and make a pattern

Draw me a sketch

of the sounds you heard

on that spaceship

to Jupiter and Saturn

 

Oh show me the colours of life

To see it's light and shade

Through God's own kaleidoscope 

Observing how they're made

   

      Observing    every    shade

         Of   colour   that   was   ever   made
