I saw them on the other side of the road
Brown growing into amber warming the green;
Emerald shone with life where death danced in flames
Frozen in that stare everything stills.
Neither could I blink nor break the trance
they pulled me in an unsaid romance.
There was something, something indescribable
the way they teased caressed embraced my soul.
I took a step, a step closer to life
just a few more and it'll all be mine.
A sudden rush a loud horn
I blink and it's long gone.
Woken up by the jolt I stare at the mirror
amber had engulfed the green and death stared back.
