Life has slapped me down; all is blue
Red is my spirit color
I’ve fallen in the blue water so deep
I can’t get up
I need the life red promised me
The blue surrounds me makes my skin twitch
I can only grab a small piece of red. I’ll make purple for now
Purple sheets on my bed, sleeping on the hope for red
Purple pillows in every guest bedroom, optimism for my guests
A purple throw pillow for my couch picking me up each time I hug it
Two purple shirts for my honey - his love-making the purple almost red
A purple dress for me, not red yet, but inching in the right direction
On my knees now but reaching up for the red light
Perhaps a purple life might do for now

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.
