COLOURS OF MY MIND

COLOURS OF MY MIND
By Celia Pingue Donguines

Look at the fresh green pastures,
Across the hills and plains.
A ray of orange sun peers through,
Light showers of purple rain.

Brown cattle quietly grazes,
The first taste of spring.
And wild yellow mustard blooms,
Dance gracefully to the wind.

Our thoughts of memorable past came to mind,
That day the sky was blue.
White fluffy clouds blown from the east,
Carried pockets of morning dew.

I brought along the colors,
Across the countless miles,
Of fun-filled days of lavender,
And periwinkle smiles.

Today, I thought of all of you and paused down to pray,
Lord, these gray dull moments can’t last another day.
As long as youthful thoughts of you.
Of rosy pinks and reds,
Will color all your days just like mine,
And those that lie ahead.

Inspired by my 40th High School reunion.
