Scripts and Ideas for Digital Stories

---

Desert Water Color

Water holds itself neutral

Reflecting only what it’s given

InWinter

It channels through ice covered flows

Giving off frigid blue and grey hues

Spring

Brings refreshing cool greens

From deep within ebullient pools

While

In Still Places

With Winds’ brisk nod

It shelters and collect golden pollen pods

In Summer

Streams

Harrassed by suns fierce scowls

Draws back its covers to reveal

Burnt oranges,luscious umber and sienna canyons

Until awakening Monsoons repose

Yet happiest of all in fall

It quietly meanders through Autumn’s brilliant nooks and crannies

Illuminating

Multicultural reds and tans,browns and amber

Only long enough for fleeting rememberances
