Convocation of Color

A convocation of color

arcs away in the distance

bowed as if beckoning me

to pass beneath incorporeal arches;

Where crimson blushes into 

intense scarlet before embarrassment

takes control flushing into

a composed and stoic carmine,

Where amber rusts away

until bronze burns above

leaving excited fire to die

into honeyed marigold flowers,

Where faint-hearted amber

slinks into bold gold

reflecting upon canary dandelions

as they harbor tuscan daffodils,

Where chartreuse limes begin

growing olive pears that

bloom into emerald shamrock moss

before reaching juniper pines,

Where arctic skies slumber

dreaming of cerulean sapphires

wishing to be cobalt lapis lazuli

only to be saddened by azure berry,

Where lavender lilacs

hide periwinkle irises before

secretly passing purple heathers

destined to be amethyst orchids,

Where suave boysenberries

transform into an inspiring grape jam

continuing on into luxurious plum sangria

suitable only for midnight mulberry wine.

Now where I started prismatic white light

breaks upon water vapor gesticulating me

to stroll gayly beneath its elusive

convocation of colors.
