ocean blues, torquoise blues, velvet blues
that is what they were wearing
they came in as many sizes
as the phases of the moon.
skipping, laughing, dancing
autumn reds, fire reds, sunset reds
that is what they were wearing
they came in different wisdoms
as the sages and the young.
singing, running, flying
spring green, hemlock green, september green
that is what they were wearing
they were of varied heights
as the sapling and the redwood.
walking, yawning, humming
daisy yellow, citrus orange, with a drop of honey
that is what they were wearing
they came in different colors
as the prism gives the rainbow.
clapping, whispering, mourning .......
meet the angels
who greeted my father
as he walked through heaven's door
smile dear father
laugh for me
find me in your heart
my tears will melt away some day
my tears will melt away
