Red believes in God, but Violet wants something else |
Thanks so very much to 🦄🏳️🌈Sapph for the Awardicon!! "Passion and Shadow" January 13, 2008 A figure of fiery red in this world of muted colour, burning with an inner light no other seems to posses. In a corner sits a figure coloured in darkest violet, none daring to approach for fear of a witchly curse. Red feels it their duty to save all the world's souls, so goes to Violet with God, but that is not their need. Red speaks of Jesus and salvation and all He did for us; Violet ignores the silly words, instead watching moving lips. Violet is the only one not listening as figures of slate, grey, and black surround the speaking red, all wishing for that promised light. Slowly the world transforms as people accept Jesus, accept promises of an afterlife Until again Violet is alone. Black tears course purple cheeks to stain this brightened worl with the inner darkness; Red returns to Violet's side. More words of salvation escape, but Violet doesn't believe a one; only one thing can save them and it isn't being offered. Red won't give up, believing so strongly in their promised salvation, in the promise of Heaven. Violet wants to believe in it, believe in almost anything, but they are unable when inside they are a mess. Finally Violet has had enough of the same words repeated, had enough of the hollow lies, so rises from the isolated corner. Red rises as to follow, but a figure of baby blue gets to them first, leaving Violet wishing. The salvation promised by Red cannot save one as Violet, too deep run the sins of one so broken and dead. This is a poem that was kinda inspired by AW, but only to a degree. Actually, that is a lie--Red was based on AW and that is the truth Hope this came out nice. Please let me know what you think and how I may make it better. If the different colours for all the names is too much, please let me know. Lurves to all who comment!! Luna |
