All The Colours Of The Rainbow - Hugh Cornwell

Blue is the colour soon arriving

When all the darkness of the mood just drifts away

Red has a habit of surviving

Can justice breathe some life into her guilty day

When purple leaves begin their falling

They mirror all the confidence that’s gone

With orange lights illuminating

Familiar patterns calm the fears that make you run

I see all the colours of the rainbow

Indigo calls and beckons slowly

The consolation of a void in which to fall

And yellow ochre humbles lowly

A constellation flickers bright along the hall

Can green remain as fresh as dawning?

The vivid space suggested never to return

As bronze arrives after the morning

He silent as a tree lives falls and has to burn

I see all the colours of the rainbow
