Red

Move Quick Slow Down The unhurried flow of the river as it moves over and around the sun beaten rocks, no predicted path, stable until the earth pattern changes and shifts under them Smooth and strong, grey and pitted ,with deep scars. The fallen tree that supports two or more bodies and the weight that they carry Basking in the open moment of giving and receiving love Red Alert Move Quickly Inside I can sense the fear Shut down Heart beating out of control, in need of an empathetic touch before it freezes Why do we allow cruel, jaded, illusions to rule and seep into our thoughts? Bleeding Slow Down Courage to face fear Feeling my heart hurt , I breath in Finding hurt where I want to find love, I breath out Red runs through all our veins Listen to the quiet breeze swirling around Feel the heat of the sun warm your cheek Smell the sweet woods after the fallen rain let it wake you up, your alive! Taste the lips of another Balancing Scales Not to fast , Not to slow , No holding on to an outcome Open heart and mind The color Red grounding me
