Color of LIFE





I sat down to think ...
which one is my favorite color ...
looked at the jar of crayons
peeped into my box of paints...
thinking...I closed my eyes...





oranges of sunrise...or of tangerines
blues of the sky or turquoise of the oceans
fresh greens of fields or the deep one of the olives
the cheerful yellow of lemons or the luminous daffodils
the perfect pinks of a lotus or a new born baby's cheeks
browns of hot melting chocolate or the earthy terra-cotta
reds of a perfect ripe tomato or of a beating heart
indigo of the deep midnight sky or the mysterious violet
white of an angel's wings or that of a flawless pearl
shades of a rainbow or pretty butterflies




and then a flash of blissful smile
made me realize... 
with its various hues and shades and so much more
 its the color of LIFE that I just adore !!
