A Deeper Shade of Red

A Deeper Shade of Red

by Ruby Red

The color RED demands attention. It’s vibrant and strong, passionate and warm. For more years than I care to admit, greens and blues have resided in the place that RED now occupies. I’ve enjoyed the peaceful wisdom found in the ceruleans, sapphires, azures, emeralds and deep forest hues that wreathed my aura with nature’s calling. And now my rainbow ebbs into scarlet, crimson and ruby, beckoning me to their charismatic hues.

Compassion’s passion
Envelope me
Make me see
Make me know
Red can be as pure as
Winter’s whitest snow

Red is the color of true love
It's the color of sunset's sweetest refrain
It’s the color of my beating heart
It represents my Savior’s pain

Red is the shade to embrace on days
When forlorn hearts are lost in a haze
To settle for less is unjustified reprieve
Red is the color that wills me to breathe
