Ribbons of Life

Round and round they go Ribbons weaving a pattern Of unyielding beauty Held by the dancers Who smile happily As they trip along Around the maypole of life Red for the blood that Gives us life Blue for the thoughts That bring us joy Yellow for the sunshine Entering the soul White brings the purity of love. The ribbons change hands the dancers turn. As the red of life releases the yellow sunshine, Into the thoughts of blue Igniting the purity of love The ribbons are unfurled.
