Red riddle

She came into the world 

With a faint cry

Her eyes shined through the baby quilt 

Her smile spread joy all over

Peals of laughter 

Patter of her tiny feet

Happiness flowing

Like a waterfall

 Her youth heralded

By the red trickle

Forbidden now to giggle

Boundaries drawn

A five day period ostracism 

Eclipsed from fun prism

Empowered to bring in a new life

But her own life became a riddle.
