Shades of the Heart

Deep Dark 
Passion arises
Color of love
Filled with surprises

Light Bright
Smile emerges
Color of joy
Happiness surges

Soft kind
Sweet as a flower
Color of peace
Ultamite power

Hard cold
Cruel as a reaper
Color of Hate
Never a keeper

Shades of the heart
Shades of the soul
Which shade are you
Blackest of coal
Pretty as pink or
Brightest of gold
True test of will
Sight to behold
