Color Thief—unrhymed, inspired by Martin

1              The sun passes through the window

                Warming all the paint and fabric

                As they softly bake they give off

                A gentle steaming of color.

5              The paint and fabric fade over time.

                But where does the color float to?

                The sun’s rays become a highway

                Of colors drifting to the sky.

                Swatches of color form up high

10            to be seen in the pale rainbows

                As drops of water make them appear.

                The sun gathers the colors up

                In denser and denser clusters.

                Keeping the shades and variations

15            Together in giant bunches

                To be spread as the sun rises and sets.
