Last night at our meeting we talked about colors and I wanted to share this
poem I'd written some time ago. Hope it is enjoyed. I wish I could send it
as attachment but I do not have access to my computer yet.

Vault of Unseen Colors

I open the door to my vault
of unseen colors using imagination's
key and I find myself in awe
and wonderment at the many treasures
I have gathered over the years,
the mysticism and the stark reality,
the grace of blue, its penchant for peace, and the voracious appetite of red
with its livid caricature in times of anger.
I stumble across the many shades of green, breathing in its promise of
renewal.
I touch the playfulness of yellow and the glory of cerise, the invitation of
black and white, and I smile at the seemingly dull surprises of brown and
gray, and with faith renewed I sort through the depths of every memory, the
images and echoes, the ocean's changing hues and seasonal paintings upon a
mountain, the building of a night sky and a waking dawn, the shadows of
rainbows and the portraits drawn by racing clouds.

My memory vault is overflowing and yet
I cannot, nor will not, divide those special moments into slots of
importance for each owns a significant place within the heart and my vault
would not be the same without them, whether they are flawed or remembered in
pristine perfection.
