Red

Something happened recently
That I can’t quite fit to words
But I will try it here
So reader,
Beware
For I’m as lost as a featherless bird

I stretched and sighed 
Not quite awoke
Awake’s tense was yet to pass
I blindly searched 
Sure I’d find
My lens of rosy glass
But to my surprise
What I found instead
Were glasses
Stained in red

Red of fire that burns eternal
Scarlet of the blood
Full of majesty infernal 
Revealing the tale of Noah’s flood.

    Of the pain my body makes
    And I will not be offended
    If there’s not a part of you that aches
