Orange and Black

quote by Holly Mathers-Shuemaker

As colors fade and slip away from the landscape, trees stand bare.
We rely on words to keep the memory alive.  

The Colors live

Between back and white

In a land that we

Know best by sight.

But knowing best 

Isn't everything,

For colors dance

And colors sing,

And colors laugh

And colors cry-

Turn off the light

And colors die,

And they make you feel;

Every feeling there is

From the grumpiest grump

to the fizziest fizz.

And you and you and I

Know well

Each has a taste

And each has a smell

And each has a wonderful 

Story to tell...
