Seeking to describe #Color

In so many poems, too many to number,
seeking to describe color, to define,
nuance, the variations, shades, hues,
textures even, weight, and wetness…
 
Speaking in language of truth, finality,
when there is no anchor, whimsy only,
no scale to measure, no frame of reference,
no gage, no wheel, nothing to count against…
 
So much is subjective, proprietary language,
a palette for merchandise, another for nature,
living color on a canvas, on living sculpture,
in living things, creatures, in the world…
 
In shapes, alive in the moment, experience,
in woods, on the seashore, in images,
too many to number, striving, yearning,
to get the color, the words just right…
