Colors for the Day

If life was full of colors then each day would be a painting,

Dark and dreamy ones like Van Gogh’s ‘A Starry Night’ for a calm day

Flowy breaths of red for times when our hearts say what our heads cannot

Abstract ones for those days where no action makes sense

If we compiled a museum of paintings from each day in our lives,

There would be a spectrum of colors, 

And it would be beautiful.
