What Color Be This Moment

What color be this moment
Is it the red of passion that sparks with flame and desire
It it the orange of a setting sun that holds to the warming fire
Is it the yellow that dances with knowing joy and delight
Is it the green that lives the blessings of God's light
It is the blue so vast and clear of a day time sky
Is it the indigo of the night and stars on high
Is it the violet of Spirit's silent and resounding call
It is each, each and ALL.
