True Colors

“Nature’s first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold.”
    ~ Robert Frost
 
 
As trees prepare for winter
   fall colors pour 
   into my eyes
 
Lush true colors 
   long hidden under green
   call to my soul
 
Soft voices of colors 
   blown on the wind say
   “Remember me, I’ll soon be gone.”
 
As I approach my own certain winter
   what colors long hidden
   will I reveal           
 
Can I be like the leaves
   radiantly shine for a time
   then quietly fall away
 
Why not
