The Shading of a Memory- A poem about life's foundations
Title: The Shades of a Memory
A rose twisted into the sky
It spread its wings across blue haze
Enveloped by the shades of red
Each shade a symbol of a hope bled
Fragile from the time alone
The rose gently fell from the crimson sky
With a smile; she knew the end
Acceptance glazed within her eyes
The shade of season tipped by a time
That leaves scar tissue on the ridge of our mind
When thinking back can wet the ground
From the tears that fall; faithless unbound
It's the story of the genuine
A tale that takes the breath away
Without this pain who could tell
The night between the common day
Without pain; we'd see no light
Without beauty there would be no sight
Cause if everything was simply plain
We'd all be absent of a name
The strength of difference; a guilty stride
Where hope and pain are often tied
These things are societies shade
It's what we breathe in every day
So mark a chapter; shed some light
See the day as the night
See time as choice, a path you pave
Tomorrow will come if you choose to stay
A dislodged mirror; two shades; one day
A reflection you live and a shade of could be
All tied into a book we call our memories
