Rich Red Poppies

River of poppies stream forth
red realm of beauty from field
to gate and beyond.
So lovely so alive free in the
wild of life. Free in the matters
of things. Free for all to see
and hold close forever.
Rich red red poppies lie close
to my heart. For they in death
are a part of you and me.

This is a beautiful 'still life.' I love the idea of a river of poppies. Thank you for hanging out at "the jam."
