Red

Colour of the future, present and past
The passion, the joy, the anger, the end
The many marks left on us from times past

The blood that has been spilled, poppies blooming
The lips of my lover, love and hatred
Colour of open flesh, all consuming

The long everlasting sunset, *momento mori
The bright, cared-for colour of remembrance
The still loved colour that tells a story

The colour that reveals a life's essence
The colour will tell that story again
The colour celebrating remembrance

Known throughout the world, seen as a symbol
Used to remember forgotten people
