Colors

Life is not black and white.
There is much to be seen.
There are colors in between.
Life is not that simple.
There are shapes, shades,
and colors all around.
There are colors in you
and me. There are blue
skies, green eyes, gray
geese, black nights,
white lies, yellow flowers,
clear tears, red lobsters,
green monsters, lilac leaves,
gray gravel, silver bullets,
pastel pants, hot pink shirts,
brown bears, coral carpets,
ivory stairs, golden years.
There is so much color
that gets painted onto
this blank canvas of life.
You can see so much more
if you just open your eyes.
