The Great House

And the House of Green

By Nathaniel T RacePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

The Great House of Colors

Gleaming bright with banners blowing,

Green now unfurled announcing

Spring sap is goodly flowing.

Within that House a Great Queen,

raiment adorned with dandelion

and diamond dews,

sits in prismatic pageantry.

Blue the color of her coat

She wears to charge into the night,

Red the color of her roar

As she passes from our sight,

In the black and milky sea

Are stars shining, broken, breaking,

Purple the color of starclouds

Her wisdom in the airs

The Great House of Colors,

color wheels carousing

in deep grounding browns emerging greens:

bear blossoms even now only once to ever see.
