COLOR  CREEP 

Blue waters, black rock, tan sand,

brown dirt, green grass, red mornings ….

Then there are the flowers: yellow,

purple, pink, rose, white, orange ….

Then there are the fish and cattle,

monkeys, birds, cats and dogs ….

Colors, colors, colors everywhere ….

Then there is the creep of color in

everything around us: skin and stuff,

which sun, decay and time change ….

Best advice: laugh when it comes to

color because creep and crawl and 
change is happening before our eyes.
Or as Saint Lawrence the Deacon and
Martyr put it when being burnt to death,
"Turn me over I'm done on this side."
