A Favorite Color
Red is Inspiration
The color red inspires me
It is the color of my heart
The color of redemption
The color of life
Inspiring hope for new days
Giving inspiration and personification
It is what binds us together and what breaks us and what molds us.
And what strengthens us and what costs us and what makes us human and alive. There is no land without it. There is no sea without it. Its elements are everywhere and seen in everything in the twist and turn of the world and universe. Giving us all inspiration and persistent and inspiration and persistent over and over and over again.
