color me clear claret to drink deep abiding joy
wash me free cerulean to keep fresh vision of purpose
paint me wild violaceous to sense passionate wonder
spray me glowing fuchsia to energize with enthusiasm
shade me warm goldenrod to exude grateful hope
draw me wheaten whey to nurture spirit of others
dye me gently ibis to find beauty in quietness
tint me steely silver to gather strength with age
