Crimson Solitude

Wind blows through the dark, delicate, silk-like petals.

Like a crimson dahlia, I find company in solitude.

Together, its connotation is modified.

A dahlia symbolizes inner strength,

Not only in one but in all.

A dahlia’s crimson solitude suits me.

Its complex surface with loads of layers shows the complexity of one’s life you

may not know about.

Its mysterious look seems intimidating, daunting, fearsome…

and still, leaves you wanting to know more.

Its crimson solitude speaks to me in low whispers,

so distant but still there.

I feel an interest in these mysterious products of nature.

It could be its beautiful shade of color,

Like fresh cherries,

plump and glass-like.
