Painted Sky

17 2 1
                                    


The sun bleeds out, a crimson tear,

Across the canvas of the day,

It paints red, for a year,

In hues of passion, I went astray.


Trauma etched its claws on souls,

Shattering dreams, once held so near,

The red I knew, turned into coals,

Leaving scars, and ashes, and fear.


But in the embers, doubts arises,

A single spark, defying fate,

The red sky fades, the morning writes,

A different chapter, on a clean slate.


For even after sunsets fade,

The skies go dark, and rain starts pouring,

Though memories echo, bittersweet,

The moon paints paths that meet.
