"ARIA"
Aria, what color is the wind?
A song in the air brings me to
dance
like the notes of a song, music
reflecting colors in the air,
twist in the wind as chimes
tingle in a kaleidoscope of sound,
a guitar drifts by as in a stream
of sound tangled in the breeze,
so many notes tickle
my soul and the soles of my shoes,
sounds now of the color of your
car,
arrive and we dance, reflections
of our lives in calliopes
she creates with her art, music
shared in the colors of her mind,
bring me to dance
in the colors of the wind,
an aria composed of shades
of joy and delight
in the sound of colors playing
in the sweet and blissful air.
