THE TWO SHADES
RED WAS THE COLOUR WHEN MY HEART BLED,
BUT RED WAS THE ROSE WHEN SPRING CAME AND WINTER FLED.
ORANGE WAS THE COLOUR WHEN I WAS STARING AT THE BURNING SUN,
BUT ORANGE WAS THE MARIGOLD WITH WHICH THE GARLAND OF MY
LIFE WAS SPUN.
YELLOW WAS THE COLOUR OF MY LIFE’S GLOOMY CROSSROAD,
BUT YELLOW WAS THE SUNFLOWER THAT BROUGHT ME BACK TO MY
CHEERFUL MODE.
GREEN WAS THE COLOUR WHEN I WAS JEALOUS AND MEAN,
BUT GREEN WERE THE LEAVES THAT LOOKED SO FRESH AND SO CLEAN.
BLUE WAS THE OCEAN THAT WAS SO LONELY AND SO COLD,
BUT BLUE WAS THE SKY THAT TAUGHT ME ABOUT THE INNUMERABLE
INSPIRING STORIES UNTOLD.
INDIGO WAS THE COLOUR I SAW IN THE EVENING,
BUT INDIGO WAS THE BIRD THAT LIKE MY SOUL WAS FREEDOM SEEKING.
VIOLET WAS THE COLOUR THAT WAS SO RICH AND SO DARK,
BUT VIOLET WERE THE ORCHIDS THAT WERE PLEASANT LIKE MY
FRIENDS’ LARK.
LOOK AT THE COLOURS OF MY RAINBOW ACROSS THE RAINY SKY,
WISH COULD TOUCH THEM ALL IF I HAD WINGS AND COULD FLY.
WONDERING WHY MY RAINBOW IS TURNED UPSIDE DOWN?
WANT TO MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOUR SMILE WHEN YOU SEE THAT
COLOURFUL CLOWN.
