if heart wasn't red
I would paint it happily
with colors you sing
cars screech
no time to speed
green turns red
red turns green
move on those gears
accelerate
long red nails
silently caresses skin
stars unite
some stars fall
shatter dreams of glass
red blue black
red marching ahead
six soldiers follow suit
that's a rainbow
swirling red
through thick thorns
rose blooms

This one speaks of the season slowly unfolding. Of loveliness that has to go through difficulty before achieving its purpose.
