BEFORE THE COLOURS SAY GOODBYE

It occurred to me
the sun rose today
so I took the time
to count the colours
painted across the sky

Then I made a list
of things to accomplish
before the colours
say goodbye

None of which
involved hammers
or nails or vacuums
or bills

In fact
none of them
could be held
or touched
or kissed

Merely dreamed about
with a sense of
reverence
for being here
is the magic
we search for

In places
after the colours
leave us to
recall the beauty
in our mind's eye
or
better yet
to paint our own
