Chroma – A Poem

January 2025

In hues of dawn, where twilight weaves,

Greenest grass or golden sheaves,

Each colour whispers tales unknown,

In ancient tongues, in shadows grown.

–

From azure skies to verdant fields,

In Chroma’s light, the world reveals,

A dance of shades, both bright and dim,

In Chroma’s name, life’s sacred hymn.

–

In ochre sands and silver streams,

In ruby eyes and emerald dreams,

Chroma, the soul of nature’s art,

Paints every scene, a work of heart.

So let the Chroma fill your mind,

With visions bold and thoughts unlined,

For in each shade, a story calls,

In Chroma’s world, we find our all.
