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.
