Red And Silver

Red.

Red is the taste of blood
Red is the sound of fear
Red is the feeling of the sun against your face
Red is the shade of two glass prisms
Red is the sweet smell of strawberry ice cream
Red is the devastating feeling of anger on a pouring night
Red is the sound of a crackling fire
Red is the smooth surface of a Canadian flag
Red is the taste of a hot chocolate on a winter day.

Silver.

Silver is the shiny surface of a diamond
Silver is the rough feeling of a knight’s hard armour coat
Silver is a shiny new car on a winter day
Silver is the happy knowledge of richness and wealthiness
Silver is the smooth sound of 2 tungsten pieces crashing together
Silver is the sound of huge metal being slotted together
Silver is the little happiness in a miserable day.
