Color me a fool...

Color me...
foolish though I am,
With brush strokes
from life's paint.
no blacker...
no more brilliant...
than any other...
for foolish indeed has color
which splashes across our faces
with each and
Every misstep
we as fools...
Are wise enough to see.

Color me a fool...
For in the end…
We are all masterpieces
Of mistakes and experience;
Learned and unlearned;
Spread across our canvas’
In feathered strokes
Of understanding.

Color me.......fool
but color me soft
for I
have known
the depth and width
of my foolishness
I confess of that
up-turned chaotic
canvas
of me
but still
tell me softly of
what I should be

-----------------

Bravo!  
It truly speaks volumes .........and in such an eloquant way

Thank you

It's only me.......only me
I hope that would suffice eternally

{{to cross a sea of wonder, and hold close at heart all dreams}}

Wow, this is very creative, I like what you have done. Every line in it says so much. Cool title also.

Have you ever known the color grey when the nighttime finds you weak
I have, I've walked that road each time; that's where my angel sleeps
