אדום
I see Red.
The Red of Life,
of blood rushing through veins
to flush the shy face of loneliness
when it opens to
Love
I feel Love.
The Love of Life,
the Love that brings
into every mundane
the possibility of
spreading wings,
souring high,
just like the Pegasus
that came to my dream-window last night,
with his naked voice
and transparent eyes
reflecting World and Life
I saw Red,
(though Pegasus was white),
when he spoke of Life and Love,
which stayed with me when I woke up,
dressed me in Red and walked me out
into the light

אני רואה אדום.
אדום החיים,
אדום הדם הממהר בעורקים
להסמיק פני בדידות ביישנית
כשנפתחת
לאהבה
אני מרגישה אהבה.
אהבת החיים,
האהבה המביאה
לכל רגע יום-יומי
את האפשרות
לפרוס כנפיים,
להמריא,
בדיוק כמו הפגאסוס
שהגיע הלילה אל חלון-חלומי,
עם קולו הערטילאי
ועיניו השקופות
ששיקפו עולם וחיים
ראיתי אדום,
(למרות שהפגאסוס היה לבן),
כשדיבר על חיים ואהבה,
שנותרו עימי ביקיצה,
שהלבישו אותי באדום והוציאו אותי החוצה
אל אור היום

"to flush the shy face of loneliness" — that is such a great image. You have a way of weaving words and meaning to make such a vivid poem.

Thank you! I've been writing since forever but only started sharing a few years ago. Still I was never told by readers what my writing does to them until now. Which is what makes this experience very unique to me. So thanks again :-) I'm happy you liked it.

There's a saying around these parts, that loosely translates to – one becomes wise by all ones' teachers. It means that there's something to learn from anyone. You're generous with your knowledge and I can only learn from it and possibly evolve. So again, thank you
:-)

Thank you very much :-) To own the truth – writing this took me on a flight too, very different from the previous
