I am the red in the rose, the flowers
on the blankets on your bedroom floor.

And I am the gray in the ghost that hides
with your clothes behind your closet door.

I am the green in the grass that bends back
from underneath your feet.

And I am the blue in your back alley view
where the horizon and the rooftops meet.

I am the black in the book 
the letters on the pages that you memorize.
And I am the orange in the overcast
of color that you visualize.

I am the white in the walls that soak up
all the sound when you cannot sleep.
And I am the peach in the starfish on the beach
that wish the harbor wasn't quite so deep.
