Inevitability Poem by Fred Babbin

Inevitability



And the bright red-orange
of the fire of life
dims.
Slowly, slowly, ,
not to the glowing red
of dying embers
but to the darker, blood-red color
of the wounds of life.
Which darkens further
to the purple of night
which becomes black
with a sigh.

a beautiful sunset takes your breath away and leaves you..'with a sigh'...your imagery is always great.
