Foreshadowing

Lavender roses
tossed in bright, silver sunlight
Chrysanthemum spells.
Lilies of the valley ring
just when redbirds start to sing.

Marmalade clouds roam
into pink skies of evening-
Jade cactus passion!
Moon appeared, fortunes to tell
at the moment red sun fell.

How nice it is to have colorful dreams, though not everyone does. I hope the fact that you've been seeing red sun everywhere is a good sign, too. You and I have in common a love of lavenders. Thank you for the compliment.
