they call it hope
blood red
on a backdrop
of gray on white
color of life
life hidden
inside
waiting
watching
for warmth
to burst into
leaf
in summer
this color
goes
unnoticed

there is one around the corner. i watch it all year, but you are right – in the summer, it is background. if it is hope, i bow to its reality. on 2nd thought, i think you are right. no if about it. it IS hope. you have been right all along.

There is color to be found everywhere. And it’s more rewarding because it’s so hidden away.

Just the slightest hint of warm color can be so hopeful. Excellent!
