Turning Leaf

Sometimes, colours have a way of predicting things

A grey sky is supposed to be the harbinger of rain,

While a bright blue one indicates a calm and wonderful day

A green twig is said to mark the beginning of spring…

Now looking at this turning leaf the other day

I wondered if it knew that orange meant it was wilting

Further it made me ponder,

Do we know what the coming year is to bring?

Are our hopes, dreams and wishes crafted by colours too?

Colours that just our eyes are not accustomed to see?

I asked the leaf while I was painting it,

The leaf simply said “every colour is truly worth living”
