Part 1

Am I red like fire,
cruel did you make me?

Am I blue and sad,
upset did you make me?

Am I an orange sunset,
peaceful did you make me?

Am I green with jealousy,
envious did you make me?

Am I light filled yellow,
shining did you make me?

Am I a pink colored flower,
beauteous did you make me?

Part 2

I have a question for you.
You put space within me.
White space,
plain space.

You split me,
broke my colors,
 trapped me in this box.
Did I own something

that’s absence now disturbs my whole?
Did my creation of hope backfire,
is this white within me my punishment?
You gave me all this color and life,

But now you paint space and emptiness.
I’m curious to know,
did you save me?
Was I just space,

white and plain.
Did you create the color?
I want you to know that,
now I’m split, broken,

and turning around.

    Wonderful! I remember this painting, but I love the way it integrates with the poem. Keep up the creative work, Izzie!
    Love, MomMom
