2 of 7 in the Jemverse ‘Autumn 21’ series

Show me a colour, one that describes me Look at my face – the colour behind my eyes It cries for the sun and pines away on these rainy days Curled in a ball and shivering, It longs for a blue that paints the skies I have a paintbox here somewhere; it has a bright palette One I have used many times, mixing over and over as old and dusty colours lend their way to young ones bright and new Blending easily with the marks I have made
There’s one hiding there with a hint of something interesting I think it’s the one you need; something of the extra mile Like the spreading rings of raindrops as they fall to puddles But there again, perhaps I am imagining things Come closer. I’ll show you a colour – one that describes me. Is it blue or a yellow or an autumn gold? Is it mellow green or amber, or purple or silver or any one of the hundred thousand colours you have seen? No. It is every one of these spreading like raindrop rings on water
