Blood Red, Upside Down Pain as red as blood, who has belittled you that you drop so pale as if dried up by rejection and spotted by the onset of youth forlorn maturing with no peace? Where is the luster of youth days? Little girl grieving in pain, as if aged before fully grown? Laughter in winds, no experience but darkness. Alas! When did scarlet become magnificent hues of door shut and emptied hollow dancing in rain of blissful tears...red then turned to bright pretty pink? No longer paled by hurt and shattered by wounds of dreadful tales. Is it the same you, as you were? The darkness no longer shed the blood of fear, suffering and regret. No longer care for what they think or for what they say. Pretty pink of mind, heart pink and bright with delight sprinkled with soft wonder and tender petals. Bold tickled pink rose without thorns, no longer afraid. Exuberance today looking through panes of bright hope and not through windows of dark red pain...no longer. She rises as wet and velvety and unyielding as tower splendid and washed clean overlooking mountains, everglades and vast beauty, stepping out potent pink lips kissing sun and moon with confidence, poised, grace-filled with love, light and life. Pink feet that flutters and dances, pink hands that glides and opens as Giver. Watch her turn the red upside down, like the world she is destined to turn from dark red to bright beautiful pink...watch and you'll see magnificence bloom from red to pink with magic...

Blood Red, Upside

Pain as red as blood, who has belittled you that you drop so pale as if dried up by rejection and spotted by the onset of youth forlorn maturing with no peace?

Where is the luster of youth days? Little girl grieving in pain, as if aged before fully grown? Laughter in winds, no experience but darkness. Alas! When did scarlet become magnificent hues of door shut and emptied hollow dancing in rain of blissful tears...red then turned to bright pretty pink? No longer paled by hurt and shattered by wounds of dreadful tales. Is it the same you, as you were?

The darkness no longer shed the blood of fear, suffering and regret. No longer care for what they think or for what they say. Pretty pink of mind, heart pink and bright with delight sprinkled with soft wonder and tender petals. Bold tickled pink rose without thorns, no longer afraid. Exuberance today looking through panes of bright hope and not through windows of dark red pain...no longer.

She rises as wet and velvety and unyielding as tower splendid and washed clean overlooking mountains, everglades and vast beauty, stepping out potent pink lips kissing sun and moon with confidence, poised, grace-filled with love, light and life. Pink feet that flutters and dances, pink hands that glides and opens as Giver. Watch her turn the red upside down, like the world she is destined to turn from dark red to bright beautiful pink...watch and you'll see magnificence bloom from red to pink with magic...
