Colors
Warm brown, umber, black
Colors of the earth beneath his feet
Warm brown, umber, black
Colors of the eyes that found their dream.
Flecks of gold fill the sky
Colors of the sunrise and sunset
Flecks of gold fill his eyes
Stalwart. as he watches and protects.
Azure, sapphire, crystal blue
Mountain lake, a jewel well known
Azure, sapphire, crystal blue
Eyes gently caring for all that roam.
Jade, olive, emerald, pine
Towering sentinels, strong in the wind
Jade, olive, emerald, pine
Eyes the color of the land, free as the wind.
I always thought if Adam’s eyes as Autumn.
I agree, shades of gold. Thanks for reading.
That’s a beautiful poem. I also like the way you tied in the colors and the eyes.
Thank you, Sierras. Glad you enjoyed it, and liked the connections with the eyes.
Oh, I loved this, AC, such a sensitive work and it made me long for spring. Good job, my friend!
Thanks MK for your response. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. I had the colors of eyes and landscape swirling in my head, the hard part was getting the words to fit.
Oh, very nice! I loved the tie-ins between eye color and their land … Well done! 🙂
Thanks PSW. So glad you like the connections. So much color to love.
I love how you described the beautiful colours, no wonder the Cartwright loved the land. Very clever how you wrote it
Thanks Chrish for leaving your thoughts. I’ve always been fascinated with the Cartwrights’ colorful eyes and the beautiful land they live on.
Very good you can see the colours as you read and you are with the Cartwrights and the Ponderosa thank you AC
Thanks Annie for leaving your thoughts on this. So glad you enjoyed all the colors they have.

Thanks, Tauna. Glad you liked it.
The Cartwrights were very much a reflection of the land they loved. Wonderful analogy in creative verse, Robin. 🙂
