Thoughts of you are colored glad
Like cantaloupe dripping down my chin;
Warm like sunlight on honey.
 
Thoughts of you are colored brave
Like blue suede and a soldier’s uniform.
 
Thoughts of you are colored sweet
Like Paris bakeries and lilac on an evening breeze,
And music, soft.
 
Thoughts of you are colored true
Like the unrelenting green of a Ponderosa pine.
 
Thoughts of you are colored bright
Like a pearly shell button poised to catch a glowing gleam;
Wonderful, like an alpine lake or a ripe tomato, soft with morning dew.
If delight were a color, it would be a thought of you.
