A Life in Pastels


Ron Roenbeck
copyright Ron Roenbeck


The haze was dripping with color.

A life in pastels.

Ran down an opaque pane…..

Before my eyes.

I reached out…..

It should be brighter.

It seems so vague.

It is…..what it is.

Yet I strive for more…..

A rainbow in the mist.

A sunset calls.

It’s in the wind…..

The changing colors.

Still reaching…..

They’re getting brighter.

I can almost touch them…..

A life in bright color.

A life in pastels.

A life all the same…..

A wonderful…..wonderful life.
