…………..Field of Colours

\ colours have their story.

………from seed to flower…….embedded code

\ has all their details hidden

……….but conditions and seasonal rhyme

\ their release of colour shade and height

\ grow slow, tinged

…………….with the pressures of growing up.

\ So, their secret code is influenced

………………………. by their ‘now’;

…………………….the colours are seen

………………………. but what is not,

………………………..is their history!
