topic: i follow green carpets

by Aaron Michael

mars is red and dirty
this time of millenia
crushed mountains
adorn ancient former
riverbeds - or so we think -

leaving bloody trails
that died in mystery
before there were
secrets to be kept.

there will be a time
where hours and minutes
become those mountains
and days are bloodyred and
imprinted in some orange bridge
until it decays
rusting the dirt
and creating new mysteries
out of forgotten secrets

until there is green again.

this is wonderful! it's amazing how minds are so unique. the colors are haunting and 'bloodyred' is spectacular. i'm so pleased that my suggestion helped to conceive...THIS!
