PALETTE-ABLE LIFE

When
he feels
his world has
faded to black,
he reaches for his
palette and putting brush
in motion–warmth of yellow,
coolness of blue, passion of red,
green growth, and sacred purple–his world
comes back to life, one color at a time.

GROWTH
(a shadorma)

Deep within
herself she found strength
to go on.
She stood tall,
emerged from the shadows, and
let go of the past.

LADY IN RED
(a shadorma)

Though a bug
among the garden
beauties, she
waits to be
noticed, knowing she is more
than a good luck charm.

Summer hues, purple bells and
