Ray of Poppy

No fort holds resistance

Against the rays of autumn 

Shining out in the open 

Vibrant art of a Goddess 

 

Breaking mortal hearts

Enhancing visual prowess

Scarlet locks upon thy shoulders

Elegant black dress

 

The mountain of fog 

May have consumed my world

Now the air at the summit is pure

Your smile resides forevermore 

 

Time stands still

Totems whisper words

So beautiful they manifest into a picture

Of the poet Poppy Ruth Silver 

Author's Note
