Red

It has been said that

red is the ultimate cure for sadness.

Who doesn't feel their heart beat a little faster

when a bright red cardinal appears

vibrant against green leaves

or when holly berries appear?

A single red leaf on a spice bush easily lifts one's spirit

And a red leaf of the viburnum does much the same.

But nothing can match the brilliance

of red camelia flowers in the morning sun.
