The Best Me

I want to be fuchsia free of 
Indigo inhibition 
Not so much that I silver sin 
But that I am emerald easygoing 

I want to walk whimsically 
Like purple peacocks along 
My destined path and lavender laugh
To have hazel happiness 

I want to be such a sandy soul
That others sink into my peace
And ruby receive blueberry blessings 
Of love light and purest energy

I want to grow such a halo
Around my heart that God
Is pleased and He anoints me
In my wildest dreams I’d be the best me

Interesting alliterations with color moods…some produce an image. Love the final verse, yes!
