Red

I can’t stop now

Ocean waves are breaking

Wild horses are breathtaking

I can only follow you

Into the sky of heaven

I can make a giant leap

But nothing without a holding hand

Inside and out

Today I think about you

And your red hue

Footsteps left in the sand

Someday a return passage

A thought in the salt wind

And a shared glance from yesterday

The sound of the ocean

Calms my heart

Puts me in that place

Deep down inside

In the deepness

Where blue becomes white

And red becomes autumn peach

And pink or blue can be all and warm

I can’t stop now

Someone told me

You were beautiful

But it wasn’t me

I live for today

And don’t want to hurt you tomorrow.
