Violets For Fingers

Rose are red Violets are purple Blood is red Bruises are purple Cherries are red Grapes are purple Nose is red Fingers are purple The snow is white The sky is grey The day is short The night is long The perfect weather The worst weather Perfect for skiing Perfect for skating Worst for falling Worst for getting stuck Temperature dropping Sun falling Senses failing No one coming Flash of life Thought of love Flash of light Thought of help Mistaken for the last time Falls asleep and never wakes

everything that is (even the passage of time.... the de/accelerations of) are relative; constancy is illusion
