     Longing for the Night

Longing for the night to come,
in her finest garments of mist
  and shadows,
with stars as eyes ...
when only your voice,
through a thousand miles
  of dreams,
can lower the drawbridge
  of my heart
to let my spirit dance
  and sing.

               [5/12/13]

Beautiful, Bruce - and I know she watches over you from way up there.

Kathleen was a grand-fine, magnificent 'secular humanist;' however'
she was also an 'atheist' and did not 'believe in' a 'way up there' ...

What a lovely analogy of freedom given you through hearing that very special voice in your life. Enjoyed!

I think this poem might make Kathleen a believer, Bruce.

I know that, Bruce.  That is why I didn't say Heaven.

I sent a reply earlier but don't believe it loaded. Just in case, great poem! Enjoyable series of imagery
