Green carries my mind to the beautiful years
I lived under trees with a roaring river
Yellow floats me toward sunshine
where I sleep with a deep breath
Red pours into kind hearts
when they pray for other people
Orange is the smell of life
Sweet and sour
White is kindness
The heart of God beating for us
Life is a colorful rainbow
on an iguana’s skin.
