Silent Colours Poem by Frederick Nellist

Sunrise invites glorious colour
blessings to our tired eyes.
Seven fold from a smiling rainbow
visions bringing sweet surprise.

Colours galore are kisses of life
forty different shades of green
caressing fields and valleys below,
beautiful portraits to be seen.

Shades of gold, gifts from the sun
purple shadows in some hidden fold.
Sapphire blue paints across the sky
grey dimpled clouds yours to behold.

White snowdrops with nodding heads
pink for roses, the cheek of a child.
A crimson sunset at the time of rest
A red blushing face, a girl beguiled.

Mother nature mixed these many colours
at times we look but refuse to see.
Let your eyes spell out the splendour
there'll come a time when you agree.
