A poem of colors, changing as the mood states of the lyric speaker. From red passion to ocher from bitterness. From the dark night to the multicolored trees. So, then, is life. Sometimes we are painted vibrant colors and at other times only the gray persists. A beautiful poem, @johnjgeddes.
Thank you, @aurodivys, and for your lyrical and perceptive reflection on the essence of the poem. You are very insightful
