What is the color of hope?
Is it the burst of fire at a hummingbird's throat?
Perhaps it is the blue of a bluebird's wing,
or maybe it's a subtle, nightingale thing.
What is the color of love?
Is it the coral at the neck of a dove?
At times it is oriole hued,
and other times is finch-gold imbued.
Is peace colored like a bird?
Is it, like a heron, large but seldom heard?
Or, perchance, like starlings small
in a feathered flock with raucous squall.
