Let the ‘pink’ wash over you and just smile.. this is a beautiful post (I wish these words had come to me…)
Subtle shades of pink
soften the edges
in a black and white world
Streaks of vibrant salmon
dance across stormy skies
in the midst of chaos
A rush of crimson
decorates chapped faces
in the coldest winter mornings
Cuddly carnation blankets
swathe crying babies
in the in-between hours of dusk and dawn
Sweet cherry Lifesavers
shared between young girls
in the gestures that comfort
Endless fields of poppies
celebrate the wonder of creation
in the face of sorrowful destruction
Rose-colored glasses
frame my endeavors
in all that I do
I live in a pink hued world
and leave the black and white
behind
Thank you so much for sharing this!

Beautiful poem, but sadly, at some point in life we must all shed the rose-colored glasses to face our heartbreaks, whatever they might be, to find REAL peace. I know— been there, done that. Sorry to be a party-pooper. Bah, hum-bug. 😉
Too, after you face the truth, forgiveness is key it takes to lock the door so you can finally walk away and put those rose-colored glasses back on. Ah! The revolutions of life.
