SAPPPHIRE AND DIAMOND SKIES

BEHIND DIAMOND AND SAPPHIRE SKIES

 

The sun shone  iridescent blue
Through
Leaves of velvet green
Silken rays of yellow
With ribbons of satan flame
And
Night began to die
Again
Fading behind diamond and sapphire skies. 

I wonder.
As our own end grows near
Do we begin to  hear
To understand
The visions that Nature
Speaks
Of a human kind.
What metaphor this
Then
Clear and pure
Woven in images and dreams
Of
A universal interconnection
All things different and the same
The Night’s Death and  Resurrection

OO you do see the richness

OO you do see the richness of the most intensely beautiful blues behind the sun's flashes of fire. You stroke the blues and greens with your thoughts and they turned into day and night, they flamed fiery furies, and perfumed silky sunshine, then you wondered if, when in a state of flux, we see more clearly, more vividly the real nature of things understand the metaphor of life. "The Night’s Death and Resurrection" I like this line specially. Its a thought my Longobardolino, I wonder too! Annuccia
