Color Splash

Colors

       by Margaret E. Sangster

 

I love color.

I love flaming reds,

And vivid greens,

And royal flaunting purples.

I love the startled rose of the sun at dawning,

And the blazing orange of it at twilight.

I love color.

I love the drowsy blue of the fringed gentian,

And the yellow of the goldenrod,

And the rich russet of the leaves

That turn at autumn-time….

I love rainbows,

And prisms,

And the tinsel glitter

Of every shop-window.

I love color.

And yet today,

I saw a brown little bird

Perched on the dull-gray fence

Of a weed-filled city yard.

And as I watched him

The little bird

Threw back his head

Defiantly, almost,

And sang a song

That was full of gay ripples,

And poignant sweetness,

And half-hidden melody.

I love color….

I love crimson, and azure,

And the glowing purity of white.

And yet today,

I saw a living bit of brown,

A vague oasis on a streak of gray,

That brought heaven

Very near to me.
