Paint me the color of the deep blue sky

To match your hopes

Turquoise depths with cotton candy hair

Paint me the color of thunder passing by

To match your sorrow

Gray flannel without a shimmer

Paint me the color of a summer night

To match your dreams

Indigo velvet and stars a-glitter

Paint me the color of a Halloween fright

To match your fear

Orange pumpkins, candles a-glow

Paint me the color of churning seas

To match your turmoil

Emerald surf, tangled kelp below

Paint me the color of buzzing bees

To match your delight

Black stripes and fuzzy yellow

Paint me the color of forbidding storms

To match your rage

Graphite clouds roiling in electric air

Paint me the color of scarlet

To match your fury

Garnet embers glowing

Paint me the color of foggy mornings

To match your confusion

Luminous white droplets brush my cheeks

Paint me the color of lilacs and roses

To match your love

Soft violet shadows and ruby petals
