Crimson

Sway

By Colleen WaltersPublished 7 months ago 1 min read

Crimson petals

startling beauty

elegant tendrils

belie strength

form and

function

the wind blows

not these in

spinning circles

they remain

steadfast

against the

pelting

rain and wind

of a summer storm

like our hope

and faith in

the One who

created even

these.
