BLUE TO RED

I was born in the springtime

When the wind bends the sky

When the ground opens up

And the ocean is wild

I was born from a storm

That broke open the sky

In the belly of the ocean

In the deepest of night

I am made from the rain

On an earth, breathing fire

I bleed blue into red

To make indigo sky

I've danced through the summer

I've walked through the fall

I've waded through winters

Where the earth never thaws

When the sky opens up

I open, too

I was born in the springtime

When everything blooms.
