The Color You See



It’s the color
of a baby’s first smile 

It’s the color 
of dying passion

It’s the color you see
when a friend surprises you
with something you didn’t even know
you needed

It’s the color you see
as a warning
before someone abuses you
because they love you

It’s peeking over the horizon
the first morning of your life
and the last that slips away
at the end
of your final sunset
