In a slightly different twist to teresa's thread, but following the same pattern, I would like to ask what these lines are about?
Sunset
Postscript you trace colours the sky
Red-letter light fades, is filed away
Sunburst fingers you raise
One last sigh of farewell - goodbye
What a nice offshoot thread, I am so pleased Sunset has got some attention.
My first impression on hearing this (and my feeling hasnt changed after all these years) was Bryan, or me the listener, watching the sun dip down to the horizon after a lovely sunny day that cannot be repeated, it's gone, lost forever.
But you want to remember, so you type or write your memory of the day. Maybe it's been a lovely day with a lover, or maybe you have been alone and instead of being busy, creative, you've just wasted your time...but has it been wasted if you have simply enjoyed being alive and basked in the sunshine?
Then, as the sun tips further below it highlights clouds, flitting across the horizon like the postscript words (each cloud a word) addition to a letter, as in "can I just add this final message before we say goodbye?"
Red letter light....it was a red letter day, a great day. Links to the blazing sun.
Then again, red light leads us into darker territory, maybe the sunny personality has accepted it's going into Hyde territory.
Filed away...into your memory.
Man I love the contributors to this site.
Now give me a few minutes to think about the filigree fancy etc!!!!
