Scarlet Sunrise

The inner light with which her warm soul glows  
Explodes above her eyes like a blooming red rose  
Dancing 'til dawn under a sky full of radiant stars  
On a world of ginger and spice known to Aries as Mars  
Lovely to see along-side the morning surprise
But no sailors need warn of her scarlet sunrise  
This phoenix will never meet with a fiery demise  
For this shooting star will always continue to rise  
Gravity will fail to make her shower transform to rain  
Then I saw fire in her eyes I cannot begin to explain  
Now she lifts my spirit to fly on a new astral plane  
After I fell I thought surely I'd never rise up again  
I had not realized her poem spilled out of my pen  
Until she sang with the voice of an angel in Zen    
Perhaps she has grown from a garden lost in the snow  
To remind me paradise is here so there's no need to go
