Traffic Lights

Traffic lights, ever had a tough decision as you zoom across these lamps?
The on-the-spot decisions made your day better or worse?
Red, Amber or Green?

There's a understood stretch of silence.
With those changing lights blinking there.
Listening to the sound of hearts,
the known facts are presented.
The race started without knowledge.
Recognising it was a choice,
facing the silence now is of such leech.
Reality in the race with wannabe.
A marathon runner compared to a sprinter.
The familiar compared to a complete stranger.
There is a world of difference.
That much to spill out,
only when not related.
The relations of the variables,
is something to crack brains and hearts upon.
Just like solving a challenging equation.

Simplicity often dissolves with real living.
Real living infuse a palette.
A palette involves choices to splash the colours.
The colours that paint the many pictures.
The many pictures of thousand words.
The thousand words to be represented in many ways.
The many ways of how an individual art is expressed.
The expressed is always unique.
The unique is often appreciated by some and not all.

When looking at a piece of art,
It's red, amber or green.
Red - Stop and take a look.
Amber - Pause and think of what message it drives at.
Green - Move on to others.
The previous pieces either linger in your mind,
or others after that create more impact.
To choose what one wants,
factors are considered.
From the use of the painting, location,
the message to carry across and etc.

Sometimes people buy a piece of art and after hanging it up,
they realise it is not as suitable.
Then the choice is, to replace it or change the setting of the environment.
Again, red, amber or green.
Red - Painting out of place! Need replacement!
Amber - Probably can make do with it. Change painting or environment?
Green - Fits perfectly!

Is it then more healthy to have traffic lights in areas of life?
On roads and in races, they act as a safety measure.
Still accidents do happen when judgements made at that point in time is incorrect.
In life, they can act on different aspects and roles.
What then do traffic lights in your life do to you?
Which of the three brings you more fear?
Red, Amber or Green?
