The Letter of Love

“Happy New Year,
my darling,
may all future days
be cast in light,
may all your dreams
wish you good nights…”

His love letter spoke
of dreams to come,
he wrote to her
of chrysanthemums
that would in her
garden grow…

as would the glow
in her heart…

“Happy New Year,
my darling,”

laid before her eyes,
the sound of his voice
in her ears, reprised,
and she saw there
in recall of blue eyes,
the look of her
in love with wise.

She glanced again
at his strong scrawl,
the message of love
sent across the walls
of timeless pall
to her.

So sure
had he been
his future was bright!
All he could see
was her in
his nights ~

as she recalled
the last time he was near,

“Happy New Year,
my darling,”
his voice resplendent
as he had draped her neck
with a silver pendant…

“Happy New Year,
my love,”
she whispered low
and in soft of candle
light’s glow,
she fingered the
treasure draped on
her neck,
and picked up the article
of the car wreck

“Happy New Year,
my beloved,”
she whispered
through tears ~
“I miss you so,
these many years”

and at the stroke of twelve
she sought
the sound of his voice
that her memory wrought

“Happy New Year,
my darling,
may all future days
be cast in light ~
may all your dreams
wish you good nights…”

Karilea- your words are one of the reasons I came back to read....
This is, as always, one of the best I have read today....

Happy New Year,
my love,”
