Analysis of Hues of life



The scarlet hue from afar
Signals the herald of second life
It is beautiful yet formidable
Even to the soundest brain.

The violet hue from afar
Signals the sprouting of a new life
It presents the most pleasing view
And completes the cycle of eternity.

The violet and the scarlet
Are but the two sides of a coin
One gives rise to the other
The old yielding place for the new .
