The Colors of Grief

Blue. Like the wide open sky.
Red. Like the rose that forgot to open.
Purple. Like the grapes with sweet skin and sour fruit.
Green. Like zucchini that grows overnight.
Black. Like the dark hallway.
Pink. Like tender new flesh.
Yellow. Like the early dandelion that is bound to change.
White. Like cold snow, and the clouds against the summer sky.
Blue, like the sky....
