Pearl white clouds in an azure sky
Drifting over the emerald sea
Beyond the purple mountain majesty
Of sage, crimson, goldenrod
Across the lavender fields
Alive with roses planted by mother
Of pearl white topaz
Amethyst emerald
Green blue aquamarine
Magenta, mauve, orange amber
Orange amber orange green
Emerald, turquoise, scarlet
Silver green yellow
Red blue green red blue orange
Yellow orange scarlet
Mother of pearl, onyx, topaz, amethyst
Emerald green blue orange yellow green
Gold, sapphire, violet, emerald green
Blue pink yellow orange amber
Orange red blue green
Red blue yellow
Red blue orange

This poem is not really about colors, of course, but music. The repeating patterns of the adjectives, the alliterations, the rhythm of the patterns, creates the music of the language of this abstract piece, and the adjectives make this pure color, more like Jackson Pollock's Full Fathom Five or William de Koonig's Blue Poles or the art of Piet Mondrien than Realism, or even impressionism. Here the world of form and figure melt into pure colors, a metaphor for this physical world melting into the spiritual world of heaven estory
