Sighs of light caress the night And fly on pinions gold Dreams of yore I do explore When blue eyes enfold... Angel breath allows no death To ice my weary heart For Heaven flowers with the power To let my life restart... Windows of my soul, they know The pain of being closed But with a kiss I feel such bliss And love I'm now bestowed... Darkness falls in lacy shawls Clinging to my face But the tears enlaced in fear Melt with your embrace... Fly with me to silver seas So we can dance the shores With feathered wings tomorrow brings Love forevermore... < !signature--> *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ [This message has been edited by Alwye (edited 06-23-2000).] |

Krista, this is impeccable, flawless, full of the imagery of a rhapsody told like no other. I admire and am amazed by your poetic growth since I've been reading your work. In a word, stunning! ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Beautiful poem Krista... Loved the title and "Windows of my soul, they know The pain of being closed But with a kiss I feel such bliss And love I'm now bestowed..." and the last two lines... enjoyed greatly!

Krista, This is most beautiful...many splendid lines in it...almost all of them...particularly... Darkness falls in lacy shawls Clinging to my face But the tears enlaced in fear Melt with your embrace... Fly with me to silver seas So we can dance the shores With feathered wings tomorrow brings Love forevermore... ... terrific work. Many regards, Sudhir. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee, Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; - John Donne |

Krista~ That was a great poem... -sighs- I especially loved your last line, "Fly with me to silver seas So we can dance the shores With feathered wings tomorrow brings Love forevermore..." Silver seas... now ain't that a pretty sight...  "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |

Thank you all so much. *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts.

"Windows of my soul, they know The pain of being closed But with a kiss I feel such bliss And love I'm now bestowed..." Krista, this is just exquisite! Your flow is superb, and your sentiments flowed so smoothly. Very beautiful! Best wishes, /Kit |
