Ruby Red Dawn Young was our love in the red ruby dawn Mirrored on sheen of a pine forest pond Visions still linger of love on your face Captured in moments of memory’s embrace And fresh forest scent of the evergreen balm Crimson light shone through the window of love Enveloping skin with the hues from above Like visions illumined through red cellophane The first light of sun through a clear window pane And up on the rooftop, the cooing of dove We sat by the pond on an old wooden pier Watching the pinks of the sky disappear Beginning of day and the end of our night As geese on the far corner lifted in flight We said our goodbyes to these moments so dear Of things we remember, that stay in our minds It’s the red ruby dawns that we don’t leave behind Elizabeth Santos [This message has been edited by Elizabeth Santos (01-24-2002 05:35 AM).] |

The dawns always seem to outdo the sunsets don't they, Elizabeth, whether literally or metaphorically. This was beautiful on all accounts. Michael |

Another incredibly wondrous poem from your pen of golden words and a glorious picture do you paint, my dear friend! Hugs, Ellie A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |

Liz, I knew from the title I would enjoy this and then I saw your name and I knew I would love this before I even read it! You and Nan are by far the queens of sonnets...this is gorgeous writing! How I wish that I could bring moments and love to life like you do - well, I'll just stick to being your fan instead  Take care, Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
