THE GIFT

  THE GIFT Roses butter yellow and crimson redResting their headOn leaves iridescent green,My heart drenched in their sunlightBlinding despair with hope and beauty.Lyrics to soothe the fearOf an end that draws all too nearCalling my soul back to the lightDying from thoughts  sad and unkindFree now to roam the universeA Spirit once deadOn beams of butter yellow and crimson red.

The phoenix fire that defies all pain and suffering

Fly yes fly "on beams of butter yellow and crimson red" to wherever you wish, be it here in this present time, in other times in other universes of the memory, you have the wings of the colours that gather strength from the fire of the sunrise, the phoenix fire that defies all pain and suffering and is reborn into whatever shape or form you desire - yes that's what, that's what you can be. Every time the sun rises we shall think of you and send our healing thoughts to you on beams of butter yellow and crimson red. They were supposed to be vermillion red, red-red! But crimson sounds best here. En stor takk, and love from Annuccia
