Color Blind

How can we understand each other's color, When we use the same flavored word? It's impossible to say it any duller, And through our glasses the meaning is blurred. To you something bright as the sky, Will always strike me as navy blue. With a fire truck we could try, But to me it is simply maroon. Something as distinct as a rainbow, To me, a blurry line of tones. Something as beaming as the snow, Might quietly sit with the stones. All I ask is that you don't judge me, When my eyes can't shine like the moon. Believe my words over what you see, Because color is what drives every tune.
