Mind the Paint

Take three visually vibrant colors inherent in my desire, heart and mind symbolic red cross, Saint George recovers faith, hope and belonging that doth remind, dark blue background defines my inner thoughts no sign of sadness, swirls of happiness associated Saint Andrew, great Scots marriage of colors, blend of nobleness, pure as snow, brilliant white shapes my psychic clearly brings solitude joining our saints secured unity, George, Andrew, Patrick minds of peace, colors no need for repaints, my minds colored red, white and blue, not black safe in the shadow of our Union Jack. 3/9/2018 contest mind the wet paint Sponsored by Viv Wigley.
