Imagine yourself new color each day.
You’ve rested well, today you are peach.
If the night tossed you about, you are gray.
Enjoyed a long day at the beach?
you are bronze, lazy, under the sheet.
If a blue moon turns you indigo,
but next night a fiery sunset streaks
‘cross the sky, you could turn a nice Merlot.
I like that thought. I hope I could be a beautiful purple.
