My Mind is Many Colors

Listen to Shaun ...
My mind is many colors
Shifting shades of hue and light
Azure and vermilion
Goldenrod and milky white
My thoughts are smears of pastel
Mixed with watercolor words –
They tumble from my palette tongue
Transforming into sherds
My mind is many colors –
Colors yet without a name
My thoughts are smears of pastel
On a page without a frame
