Colors Of A Soul

Strong is the Soul, Wise, Colorful, and BeautifulWhat color is my soul?
Most times green
Or a touch of pink.
At times it's gray
Till blue chases it away.
Sometimes it’s yellow
Or a touch of lime.
It was simply brown
Till purple came around.
Once it turned black
And than slightly gold.
Suddenly a red so bright
Until God made it white.

The colors of the soul
Displaying different shades.
Colors of joy and of life
Colors of sadness and strife.

The colors of the soul
Blends so deeply within.
Colors of strength to cope
Colors of courage and hope.

That is beautiful! I think my soul is a rose colored rich pink today with hues of deep red.

I love colors!!! You're right some days I am shades of green and growth. Other days cool colors of blue and repose are the color of my soul.

Beautiful picture and beautiful words. God bless you.

absolutely beautiful poem! and beautiful painting! did you paint the picture?

I also loved your childhood memory in the post below! oh, boy I can't imagine sharing bubble gum! LOL! that's great though :O)

my most favorite childhood are those of being outside up in a tree with my childhood kitty cat, feeling the sun peer down through pinholes because the leaves were so thick, and the shade the roof of leaves made in the hot Florida sun, and the breeze that was was even heavier under the roof of the leaves. As the leaves swayed back and forth it was like a naural outdoor a/c made by heaven! it was where I would daydream, just me and my kitty cat!

You have such a wonderful way of expressing your feelings. I would never have thought of colors, but I do know mine is white because Jesus lives within.

We are doing much better. God has answered to many prayers for us. Still praying for us.

Wow, right now my soul is green, the color I mark my Bible with for relationships. I just read "spirit of control". I'm all teary eyed. It was meant for me to find you, or you to find me. Thank you for your blog, your words and inspiration. So wonderful to meet another Christian blogger. I will visit often and reread that post again. Lisa

Darlene said...

I love this Lori, simply love it and so needed to read it. I've never thought of "my soul" in this perspective. Lately my soul is shades of gray. I've been feeling blah. I need something fun and exciting to do instead of working til late in the evenings. I've been the boss now for almost 3 months and it's wearing at my spirit. Going to Church keeps me at peace and then when Monday comes around, I feel like pulling the covers over and hiding. I know the Lord is preparing me for something and I trust in him, but I still can't help the shades of Gray. I'm off then next couple of days and it's supposed to be really warm and sunny tomorrow. Now that I've read your post, my goal is to have a Orange Friday! (smile)

Love and hugs to you!
