What Would Be The Color Of The Last Day?

red if we spilled roses and spoke in tongues
blue if water rose and we knew of our beliefs
green if the trees spoke in riddles and we left our belongings behind
yellow if the sun hugged us and we laughed at the stars
orange if fire swallowed the sky and we coughed up our lies
purple if from under the bed they finally came and we cried into our pillows
white if diamonds fell from the sky and we lost our minds inside the caves
black if we simply closed our eyes and smiled at the end of days.

i'm confused. is this note to you from you? i like what it says, just can't figure out why you would write a note to yourself like that. :)
