Pure and serene
Bringing peace of mind
Starshine through darkness
Healing will we find
A mystery it speaks
And mirror to one’s soul
Encouraging discovery
Examining the whole
Prosperity and success
Value and gain
Resolving conflict
Diminishing pain
Full and rich, it brings well-being
As the light of God… is smooth silver
From “On Colors”

Flashing forth boldly
Not one to ignore
Bursting with energy
Life and death, love and war
Prosperity and fortune
For some weddings a fashion
To welcome and protect
Living life with great passion
Fire, danger, and fury
Sun’s glow in the morning
When anger arises
Heed now its warning
With life it flows…
Full, open, and free – is red
From “On Colors”

Blue’s fine shades draw us near
Welcoming us in many ways
Lightly peaceful, relax and breathe
Waters soothing and sky’s clear days
Touching softly its companions
Settle back in calm serene
Brightens, lifts, and cools our head
To think, create… So fresh and clean
Then bold and dark, stable commitment
Speaks of strength and lends its dignity
Standing now for trust, honesty
Respect for others and authority
Be watchful, when into melancholy you sink
Then bring alongside… those shades of bright blue
From “On Colors”
Charlotte-Anne Allen
Clean and inviting
Washed, fresh, and pure
It is what you see
Real, genuine, and sure
Peaceful and good
Full of beauty and grace
An uplifting spirit
And encouraging face
Forgiveness, acceptance
Yields hope and builds might
Shining like snow
To the darkness… brings light
Combining all colors
… from God is true white
From “On Colors”
Charlotte-Anne Allen
Green speaks of living things
Renewing, filling… growing from
Vibrant color cool with dew
Verdant pastures beckon, “come”
Of health and wealth some would seek
But beware the green of envy now!
And when the stomach heaves and surges
A greenish face will take a bow
But do not fret upon your way
In life comes hope with thoughtful shifting
From deserts spring the green of life
Shining glistening, shoots uplifting
Breathe slowly deeply and feel things ease
Surrounded by some calming green
from “Of Colors” – Charlotte-Anne Allen
Summer’s bright splash of color
Swaying in greeting to wind’s light touch
Quiet conductors with raised wands
Now trills the songbirds’ joy
In harmony with busy buzzing
Neighbor greeting neighbor and
Workers moving in steady contentment
They lead an attentive orchestra
Turning to hear their voices and
Lifting faces to welcome soft touch
So, we move to quiet beat
Giving thanks for day’s harmony
For splashes of color and gentle touches
Work well done and songs well sung
