Blood Red Beauty
Blood red petals floating fragile in the wind
Relationships intertwined yet ephemeral
Young and energetic shining moments
Splendid beauty in a garden of flowers
One by one the petals fall
Old relationships mature move on
New colors emerge as old ones die
Relationships are strong
Be they short or long
Bleeding blood red for all to see
Their shining day in the sun
