Monday Poem -- Oct 26, 2009
While visiting my parents (inlaws) this weekend we ran into this beautiful sunset that inspired this poem:
Red Dragon
How can a sun be so cool among the sunset,
like an eye, shaded by blue cloud.
How can fire spread from your nape,
sizzling like a tune sung louds and deep?
You fly the heavens, as if we dreamed free,
watch me hungrily,
feed out fire to end our happy days,
crazy headed puppet, bobbing away.
Is there menace in that deep blue solar eye?
I feel such friendship, as if we knew we'd meet,
one for the future, tea shared beneath moon,
one for the night past, saki painting our limit.
All I can say is encountered this eve,
there is fire in the blood to take us up high,
and quiet in the night awe to set us straight
and coldness in that deep blue solar setting eye.
