Colors of Life

Yellow tells us of a coward,

edges away from becoming red.

Pink tells us of new-borns,

just shy of the brightest red.

Brown could be rust colored red,

Blue, is just blue,

but it could be a saddened heart,

beating red blood ever gently.

Orange is but a step away,

caught in the flames of fire red.

Velvet is the soft red,

ever close to coming forefront to red.

But red ... red is the master,

the power that turns heads,

that feels heat,

that causes faces to blush.

Red is everywhere,

from sandstone to brick,

to a sexy dress on a woman,

to embarrasing moments.

... and red,

is the moment of now.

Think it,

feel it,

breathe it.
