Red — is the colour of sunset sun's flaming,
Orange — gives hope of reviving sunrise,
Yellow - is shining, up-warming and nice
Greetings of day sun spilled in skies.
Pink - is the sakura blossoming tender,
And The colour of purple is a vow of the night.
Black is the ground by your bare feet captures.
White is like snow, or day light, or the Light...
White under white amid black thawed patches
Snowdrops awaked by spring breath delight.
Lilac and Lavender follow each other,
Fuchsia — bright spots in garden decor,
Colourful valleys are full Colour Palettes!
Rainbow after rain pleases gazes and souls!
Savannah's Khaki and Sienna of canyons
Cherish the bend of the emerald stream -
Heavy and light shadows on everything;
Sepia hides in the secret backwaters,
Where Turquoise ice sparkles on the Brown slopes
And mother-of-pearl strokes in Aurora borealis.
Ochre — abandoned deserted sand beaches,
Brown Umber shades into clefting crag caves,
Night Gray fog over the darkening waters
Waits for the morning Smoky-Gray haze.
Azure is infinite skies with the clouds,
Blue of eternal spaciousness feels,
Aquamarine – from the oceans and seas,
Indigo – far hills and fields of cornflowers.
Salad Green is for the Spring and the Summer,
With yellow and red — turns the last Autumn's warm.
Velvety Green - all the trees camisole.
Millions of facets of alive origami,
Painted with passion of brush strokes' tsunami
The planet's beautiful pattern is unique and sole.
And this live-painting picture is full of the living:
Ornament necklaces of fish and of birds,
Iridescence in trees of feathers and singing,
The whispering waves and the rustling leaves,
And loud bison humming in herds.
Man - you are the heir of a wonderful painted!
And you are its essence — its main, royal part!
Care of this world, as the Father the Son blessed —
So that the colors won't fade, and flows life and art!
