One Single Impression -- Colors

Colors

pure,
vibrant,
pulsing with life;
fragile,
temporary,
unsustainable.

stay,
do not leave.

but colors
fade,
shift,
change,
like life,
like a river dappled with sun,
the sound of the wind,
phases of the moon,
or
children growing up
and parents
growing old;

time passes
colors change.

I enjoyed reading this. I got off track and had an old rock music song take hold of my mind. Several, really, a CW or two as well.
That all started with the "stay ... " line plea. Of course none in the songs stayed 'forever' either, they faded, shifted (?), changed, etc.
