Pallet of Life

Rainbows glow within our mind
Of everything we left behind
And all that in the present lies
Shines prism colors in our eyes

The dress she wore of crimson red
Gleamed red of passion in his head
And crimson streams of passion poured
The night he saw the dress she wore

The day of white, the day of veil
A dress of white with lacy trail
The moon of white the night they wed
Streamed down on white of linen bed

In bright of sunshine’s yellow rays
Life’s own sweet treasures filled their days
With cradle precious pastel hues
Of baby pinks and baby blues

Days of black and days of red
And days of yellow lay ahead
The greens of summer, crimson fall
And always spring revived it all

The joy and pain of all they had
Were colors mixed on pallet’s pad
But dreams still shown in prism rays
Until the end of all their days

Of all the shades of painted time
The tones of love were most sublime

Elizabeth Santos

Elizabeth~
It doesn't surprise me that our
thoughts of crimson run hand in hand this day.
Love you~

Liz, I do believe that Webster is going to have to add a few words to his dictionary as beautiful, lovely, and all the rest are just not enough anymore.  Your words just never cease to amaze me.  Bonnie

Liz--A sunset rich with all the hues
of a day with clouds in perfect view
could never match the colors of
the poetry of Liz's love!

Days of sunsets and sunrises with rainbows in between are what you bring to us with your lovely imagery.  You expound the depths of nature and life in a thousand wonderful ways and I appreciate you for doing so.  Beautiful as usual and shining even more brightly.

psst, Liz - if you really wanna shock everybody, write a poem that is NOT perfect - it would be a first for you - I'm amazed at how well you write every poem... you have a wonderful sense of flow and imagery.  This poem is so well done.
