I know you want the soft
touch upon paper, pen in motion
words to flow with emotion
pretty pink pictures
with a sigh now and then,

but I can't remember when
these colors were my own
when the things in my life
had a softness of tone.

The harsh of reality
  distorted
  the rainbow view
deep colors that scream
are all that come through.

I long for the dim,  
  the pale of shade
soft colors caress
my body does crave.

A gentle touch
of softened hue
to paint again
small slight of mood.

To create once more
with skilled artistry
a picture, a story
even a litany,

Softly told,
whispers of tint
brushing upon space
  with the slightest of hint

a life, in color, is told.

Oh, Anne... this is absolutely lovely... but the hurt in it haunts. It's great to see you posting again... hope all is well with you!

a life, in color, is told.

Dear Rose of White, the way you color life through your poetry, is a wonder to behold.

Your touch is petal-soft, sweet poetess.

You have been missed.
