The Heart and Mind Seek a Crimson Sky

Profound and sad thoughts
seem to overwhelm in solitude,
but the heart and mind seek a crimson sky
as the evening gathers big and small stars;
and quite often they lead us there...
whenever love doesn't grant us our wishes,
then reality is the dream we follow! 
Making decisions can drastically change 
one's life, there shouldn't be regrets 
or second thoughts to avert fate: 
it's either triumph or defeat,
 nothing can be rearranged!
 Seek a crimson sky with the heart and mind,  
breathe in the scent of fragrant blossoms,
admire the vibrant colors of the blazing sunset:
God's hand paints it each evening
for our delight to remind us that He still loves us!
