True Colors - Doug von Koss

[Larry Robinson]

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
