palette of elation
simply to sharpen my awareness
of the beauty around me, i look
in order for a natural representation
of each of the colors of the rainbow
red, today, is apple (noting with joy
the golden-yellow, wiggly lines
descending from the shoulders)
orange – sunrise struggling between
purple clouds
yellow – leaves, as Alli Weiss put it,
learning ‘the sweet song of dying’
green – remarking trees in prolific hues
from chartreuse, pea green, avocado olive, khaki, bottle, sea, cedar, emerald
blues in luscious abundance from sky
to spruce needles to rare autumn
fallen lacy leaves
purple, magenta, hyacinth
and tiny, pink, shy, bell-like florets
even remembering this gorgeous pallet
of my world bring me warm peace
and hope for a happy tomorrow
a mother’s pride
