One Thousand Dulux Shades of Life

found fossil skies and dove slate cloud

warm pewter rain and urban chic pavements

my life has dulled to 32 dulux shades of grey

muted mocha office and roasted coffee briefcase

dusted damson suit and muddy puddle deadlines

Joyless work in 97 dulux shades of brown

lemon drizzle smile and sunny day laughter

soft vanilla calm and wild primrose passion

I miss her in 67 dulux shades of yellow

volcanic splash anger and red stallion rage

ruby fountain sorrow and rose trellis tears

grief poured out in 164 dulux shades of red

woodland fern stillness and forest falls peace

spring meadow serenity and minted glory promise

God comforts me in 76 dulux shades of green

fragrant cloud prayer and velvet ribbon praise

lilac spring dance and cotton breeze joy

gentle restoration in 76 dulux shades of violet

harvest fruit healing and earth glaze complete

honey beam satisfied and golden rambler awake

tossed high, I soar in 65 dulux shades of gold
