"Nature always wears the colors of the spirit."
— Ralph Waldo Emerson
What color be this moment ~ What mood ~ What spirit of BEING...
Is it the red of passion that sparks with flame and desire
It it the orange of a setting sun that holds to Creation's 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 crowning grace
Is it the magenta that holds Soul’s place
It is each, each and ALL
Heed the silent and resounding call.
