I actually posted this piece once last year, but it fits my new series, so I’m including it here.
RED
Red is fire and passion.
It lives; it shouts; it takes possession
Of every scene in which it plays a part.
It is the exclamation mark of life.
It speaks of blood that flows throughout our veins.
It speaks of hate that steals away that blood.
It speaks of love that overcomes all hate.
It’s energy unleashed:
Invigorating, stimulating, titillating, aggravating.
Bold, emphatic, quite dramatic;
Life-inspiring, soul-empowering:
Red!
