"Life is about using the whole box of crayons."  

On Autumn day I reach deep within.
Reach for the box of crayons in my heart.
Some crayons are broken,
reminding me of past love,
but they still work as heart still beats.
Others like brown and green have great power
like Mother Earths textured ground that carries everyone.

All colors I use, mixing the dark with light for balance.
Black shows me where my shadows lie so I may shift them.
Yellow like sun gives me positive affirmations to move in day.

And best of all after the rains comes
like tears on my pillow
so to the rainbow shines.
It reminds me the importance of living in the heart.
The place where peace is generated and love begins.
