Color Me... [March Contest]

Your colors aren't the same as mine
I mean, you see them differently than me
for you, red is anger and being mad at things
My red brings warmth, like the blood that runs through your heart
or the color that fills my face when you look at me

Your blue is sad and weary, the tears of a deity
the water of a slow death
Blue... blue for me is calm, like a lake on a quiet day
placid and serene, lazy, peaceful
like lungs full of air to live

Green is solid and steady, and I feel comforted
like when I see a silver hair of mine
woven in a nest of tan under the eaves
made for a Spring family of brown sparrows
And their voices chirp yellow notes to my ears

White, the color of all mixed together like whipped cream
is too hard to look at for long, but necessary to separate
single hues and keep the peace
And BLACK ! The absence of light divided and non-existent
puts everything in perspective
