Yellow, Orange and Red Yes, it is a wondrous vision Never have I seen such a glorious sunset The yellow does truly make me feel as though I’m soaring on the wings of elation! That is how I feel when you sit next to me like this You are my soul mate, and soul mates Are wrapped in yellow It is the kindness we show each other, The respect and the honor we bestow Yes, our friendship is yellow And glows brilliantly down from the sky It is a rainbow sky, indeed And orange is the solidity of our friendship It gathers all the yellow and seals it with a mixture of red and the sunset has written our togetherness across the sky The crimson is shining on my face because it is the blush of passion It originated here in our hearts and the sky is reflecting our love and sending it back to the ripples of the sea The sea is a mirror of all that we have and all that we are It makes the colors move with life But now the sun is sinking The air carries the coolness of evening The colors are changing except for a cloud of mist that has captured them trying hard not to let go of this moment A flash of glory pierced my eyes and my heart with burning scarlet and gold and citrus flavors of life For me, the colors have not disappeared, though I have never seen them Sometimes the blind can see more clearly than those with sight Let us go home now and I will describe to you the magnificent sunset of yellow and orange and crimson that is etched in my eyes For by then, you will have forgotten and I will keep the moment alive Elizabeth Santos |

Is there anything you cannot do? *S* Your rhymes are beyond superb... but while less frequent, so is your free verse. *S* I enjoyed this very much, Elizabeth. |

Brilliant writing Elizabeth, you paint the sunset with such vivid emotions. Kethry Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

This piece, as I have come to expect, is exquisite  Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

You certainly can keep the moment alive! Every moment's alive in your superbly rhymed and flowing poetry. This is no exception! Beautiful Elizabeth! Lots of insight into the images of color perception! |

Liz writing verses that don't perfectly rhyme. I never thought I'd see the day. And, yanno what Liz? You write just as beautifully this way as that. |

"Let us go home now and I will describe to you the magnificent sunset of yellow and orange and crimson that is etched in my eyes For by then, you will have forgotten and I will keep the moment alive"  (smiles) Awwwwwwww, I love this, sweet friend, I just love how you describe all the colors of the rainbow and make them sound so pretty! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, may the colors always blush your face with joy, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Elizabeth, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

A great flowering sunset One where the sky is green Foretells of yellow rain A sun-rose Red with clouds Flowers later in the morning Your writing's better every read...and about that "not rhyming" stuff, mine usually don't when I try...LOL....hiya sweets |

Oh my god Liz. This is the most beautiful thing you have ever written. I am so glad I came across it. Speechless, I really don't know what to say. You should put this on one of your special pieces of paper - and frame it, and hang it on the wall. Marvellous. Love  K |
