| The earth's colors |
 ... Anita Skinner
- Where
does the earth get it's colors?
- Do the
red tulips shine from the blood of
those killed in senseless acts of
others?
- Are the
pansies red with the blood of those
who have died before their time?
- Is the
red clay of the earth filled with the
blood of those who have taken their
lives before their time,
- forever
locked in the drudge and pull of the
earth?
- Does the
grass grow green with the ache of our
hearts as our lives go on and those
around us die?
- Are the
leaves green and then brown with the
love we find and waste in our lives?
- Is the
green ivy on the buildings filled
with our growing hopes and desires
for the forbidden,
- forever
clinging our hearts to their limited
surface?
- Where
does the earth get its colors?
- Does the
grey of the driveway reflect the
despair in our souls?
- Are the
decaying buildings a symbol of our
ability to love and hope?
- Is the
growing fields of grey in the
graveyards the extend of our
acceptance of the inevitability of
our life,
- that we
will die & our lives will have
added no color to this world except
the grey of a headstone?
- Where
does the earth get its colors?
