Pallete

by Carrie

Life is a palette of colors

draped across a landscape

to be savored and enjoyed.

Glorious watercolors

project the adventures

of times passed.

Fountains of brilliant oils

in glittering golds

for times left to be enjoyed.

Brush strokes that reflect

the beat of my heart

and the paths I have forged.

An array of colors

smooth and bold

that portray the hopes

and dreams I long for.

Colors so intense

they ignite the torch

inside my soul.

Palettes of colors

that make up my life

have significance.
