Fire flickering in peaceful sight Embers of red, shades of dancing light Eyes that take in, but do not see For through the flames, you do flee Drifting from the close of room As tapestry of life clicks on the loom To touch the weave of ever before With memories swirl, through past’s door As if only yesterday, you saw the smile And thought of times of linger while Fresh and warm as the summer breeze You drift along in heartstrings tease In youth and health you did abide Back on the paths where you did stride Wondering on the route you took If it been different with another look Then you smile as the fire does play For the choices made along the way Some were good and some were bad But better to smile than feel the sad The warmth you feel as you bank the coal Is more inside where dwells the soul For always behind the red siren’s call Is the door to the past in memory recall |

Drifting from the close of room As tapestry of life clicks on the loom To touch the weave of ever before With memories swirl, through past’s door ~*~ As ever was, and all is well with you, then...we have missed you. Welcome home. |

"Drifting from the close of room As tapestry of life clicks on the loom To touch the weave of ever before With memories swirl, through past’s door As if only yesterday, you saw the smile And thought of times of linger while Fresh and warm as the summer breeze You drift along in heartstrings tease" Ah dear Logan, so good to have you home. I had better watch myself or I will have copied the entire piece while looking for my favourite lines. Beautifully penned..you are missed. What was, is, and is, ever was and ever it be, as ever it does.. ~Soft Smiles, Leighgirl~ ~ I like not only to be loved, |
