Colour floods this world of ours
everywhere it bursts and flows out
as it rains the colours reflect
in bands of yellows, reds and blues

Violet, orange, greens and indigo
making such a colourful splash
if you are lucky at its end
a pot of silver and gold awaits

Vibrant hues colour the forests
with shades of emerald and amber
our lakes sparkle in blue and white
as its waters tumble over the rocks

Lush flowers adorn the gardens
striped with natures pallet
trumpet bulbs of purple and red
each vying with its neighbour

A world without colour so gloomy
made of blacks, browns and greys
muted and drab they drain life away
leaving a world much too empty

Pastels bring back our hopes
as they lend themselves to nature
after all it is on this her canvas
that she paints her own picture
