Notes About The Poem

- Like a Real Ruby -

Red glow;
                                  dressed in brocade
                                  every branch shines
                                  It spreads like a blanket
                                  on a soft bed
                                  In the evening;
                                  the red wings of the sunset

                                  A white canvas,
                                  who gave drink
                                  and nourished the poet
                                  - paints red
                                  A the wind whispers about
                                  frailty
                                  to all that lives
                                  in this world
                                  A symbol of
                                  one's destiny and life
                                  without the need for words
                                  or explanations

Judy Ball October 12, 2021 at 7:19 AM This is lovely Aileen. The Fall is so full of so many colors. It's a silent message that at what seems death is merely sleep and we will reawaken to a wonderful morn. Great stuff here. God Bless, JB
