Colors

August 9th- For James And Oneg True Colors Challenge

By Kelli Sheckler-AmsdenPublished about a year ago 1 min read

*

Husks and hues and autumn dew

Amongst the flowers in fields ablaze

Kisses my skin like a new tattoo

Golden delights in bright amber waves

Sky burst conclusions cast bold streams of saffron

Burns like the sand under deep tawny flames

Wild and free dancers under the sun

Enjoying the season with midsummer games

All of the colors explode in succession

Each one revealing its own unique style

Absorbed by the spirit releasing a lesson

That everything will be done in its own time

Warm and inviting, it calls to my heartstrings

Cool and impulsive invites me to dance

Learning the steps that each new day brings

Step outside of the comfort and give it a chance

    Love the image. Makes me a little homesick for the North. There is a lot to think about in this one at least for me.
