Describing Colors – v3


My limited language, nuanced,
different meanings, illusions
perceptions of colors, of shades, hues;
brand names, Crayola,
the color wheel, a spectrum
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
in too-small, inadequate words.

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.
