The Gift of Time Precious, is this gift to give When one heart holds another. Staring at me silently He's there, my Shadow Lover. He whispers to me, kisses of. In darkness, he will reign Upon my lips in silent touch To myst me once again. Time goes by so swiftly In the cobalt blue of night. Antique lace in shadows shed It's softness in moonlight. To hold my heart together In the silence of the rain, You camouflaged with kisses Whispered colorful in stain. The dark is shattered by the light As rain becomes a mist. The morning sun burns off the fog And leaves a rainbow kiss. The newness of the dawning And it's warmth to start the day, Is a gift of time, so precious Shadowed silently to stay. M* 2K |

Time goes by so swiftly In the cobalt blue of night. Antique lace in shadows shed It's softness in moonlight. .. .. The dark is shattered by the light As rain becomes a mist. The morning sun burns off the fog And leaves a rainbow kiss. The newness of the dawning And it's warmth to start the day, Is a gift of time, so precious Shadowed silently to stay. ------ WOW, Another Wonderful One Maureen... regards, sudhir |

Sudhir..I hope you don't mind me posting a few from my older daily thoughts... I thought you might enjoy some of my past writings this year...all have a special meaning as I actually write as a daily diary... thank you Maureen * I am a bit run down at the moment...am still writing new...but love some of my past moods, too. |

This is as soft and as beautiful new morn. I really like this one. But you know how much I like your work, you have such a certain touch that your words capture moods perfectly.  |

Maureen, I feel compelled to say something in regard to this lovely poem, but for the life of me I cannot come up with anything fitting. I certainly echo all of the above sentiments and yet fee there should be more... Maybe, this is a glimpse into the recesses of a tender heart? Anyway..thanks. ~Always~ GS |
