In Living Colors

"Beauty puts a face on God."
Margaret Brownley

Reminds me this

Of crayons in their paper sleeves

Coloring up bright memories

With names like aqua green and periwinkle blue,

Swiss cheese, cinnamon apple, and desert brown,

Maple leaf red, bubblegum pink, peachy keen.

Names like apricot dreamsicle, lemon lilt, 

Cherry red, dusty pink, dogwood petal white

Names that tickled me inside—berry blueberry blue 

And made me dream in living colors.
