My Box of Crayons

You are my box of crayons.
The red to my passion;
The orange to my enthusiasm;
The yellow to my optimism;

The green to my peace;
The blue to my stability;
The purple to my creativity;
The black to my mystery;

The white to my innocence;
The brown to my strength.
Every shade and every tint
That I am is what you paint.

With you, I am smaragdine,
And viridian and aquamarine,
And argent and apricot,
And indigo and gamboge,

And ash and amethyst,
And skobellof and mulberry.
You are every color I’ll ever be,
And only with you, I’ll play Holi.
