Describing Colors – v2



My limited language, nuanced,
different meanings, illusions
perceptions of colors, of shades, hues;
brand names, the color wheel
plants, fruits, sky and cloud

All a palette from which to choose
to try, in tenuous fashion
to capture wonder, beauty,
God’s utter perfection

Describing colors, to bring memory
to find common understanding
using the names of nature
to describe the colors I see
hoping that they will be meaningful
to all who read my words
