128 Crayolas

128 Crayolas I could never choose just one colored crayon to paint my world. For I see purpose in all life, reason in all things, and colors play their parts. My blue crayon colors the skies. But not alone, because gray and white temper the mood of radiant blue While a bright yellow sun radiates pinks and oranges to create sky-blue pink. Fields of lush green grass cover hillsides dotted with yellow dandelions, while satin red cardinals perch on lilac blooms. And what color is your heart? Is it filled with love’s red? Perhaps deep fuchsia Bold Emotions, deep blue-green, Calmness. Crystal white for purity. And yet I myself Am Red Filled with fire and passion Bold emotions, impulsive. Impatient. The color of blood. The signal of warning. The brightest color in my box.
