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
