The canvas awaits for the colours to choose.

Gems of all the beautiful colours, nothing to loose.

The brush paints a melody, portraying me.

The choices I have made in life and who I wish to be.

I start with the sky, soft blue with puffy white clouds.

Then adding gold and silver for my chimes ringing aloud.

The land that I love has a beach of sandy tan.

Then green and brown for the psalm trees on land.

Portraying the gems that remind us of how we are free.

Float like rainbows of colours for equality.

As a woman who has passion for everyone.

The colours green and blue like the earth, yellow like the sun.

Shows my passion for for Mother Earth and our beautiful land.

The opportunity of painting on my easel wherever I stand.

Yet it takes time on a easel or a portrait of you.

Showing the colours of gems that portray what you love to do.

Or who you want the world to know what your “true colours” might be.

Starting with bright colours of what you want to see.

Soft shades of how you feel inside.

Pale for feelings that you sadly hide.

Rainbow shades for the acceptance of everyone.

As an easel capturing all the true colours for you are number one.
