Orange for the sky
Teal for the lake
Ash for the fog
In the cold daybreak
Mauve for the hills
Rose for the clouds
Black for the ravens
Flying away in crowds
Olive for the leaves
Violet for the berries
Glistening bright scarlet
For ripen red cherries
Gray for the rain
White for the foam
Brown for the dry earth
Where thirsty deer roam
Silver for the stars
Gold for the fields
Gleaming in the sun
With corn, barley and wheat
White for the moon
Blue for the night
Yellow for the fireflies
They’re such a delight
Palette smeared with paint
Brushes dipped in the jar
In a white paper land
My mind wanders afar
