The anniversary of my Dad’s death passed recently. The years quickly come and go and life is relentless. But, it’s good to stop and remember the gifts that he gave his family. An anniversary is one of those scratches that show what is felt deeply.
The colour red
Red is the colour of
Anger
Sharp pain
Strong emotions
Lost love
Grief
Feelings
That well up
Suddenly….
Red fades quickly
Until it’s scratched
Exposing a vivid reminder
Of what was felt
The anger
Sharp pain
Strong emotions
Lost love
Grief
Feelings
That well up
Again.
