COLORS

When I was young,

I loved my crayons.

First the boxes of five,

bright primary colors.

Later the jumbo boxes

opening me up

to more dazzling colors:

pinks, the color of pretty dresses,

greens and yellow-greens,

the colors of grass and new plants.

Now, when I see a hill

covered with yellow wildflowers,

I think of the crayons

which invaded my youthful soul

with the captivating colors of life.
