The Red

Why..  For so long..  Have I counted the rain drops on my Window Pane

Why.. When I should have been counting the petals

Looking at my reflection in the glass as if it were my enemy

Thinking the world was falling down around me.. when really.. I was just floating above it

Suddenly the painful memories

and the hurtful words don't matter so much

Not with so much red in the world. Beauty. Simplicity is perfection.

And we just let it slip through the cracks of our material things

It all just seems so obvious now. Not that I have been awakened or my eyes have been opened. They were never closed

Just that they have begun to understand

Adjust to the light of the world

Adjust to the explosive shade we are living in

The Red.

For so long I have been counting the rain drops

I'm going to count my petals
