Red

Soulfire

By Brandon MayePublished 5 years ago 1 min read

Hue following me wherever I go

Mind saturated, it’s intensity

Grows, asking not to show

Pain living within me

Anger, rage, animosity, fear

Squatting in mind, red

Covering ability to tear

Building inside, well fed

Is this all that red does mean

Disappointment and dissatisfaction

Through life, on this I lean

I don’t want to live in fraction

Following me, this hue

Teaching me to breathe

What first came in anger new

From ashes kindness grew

Flaming tint no longer distracts

But fuels the devotion

Seeing what I do attract

With this Heart of passion

Follow this light burning inside

Though I’ve not all the answers

My call is to be a guide

A guide to fight the cancer

Of futile anger, pride, and fear

To awaken those who peer

Into the sky, the eternity

In others’ eyes
