Chenille winds softly billow Within the mellow sunrise As sapphire tinged memories Float upon the liquid skies. Saddened eyes cast downward Away from blooming light Her heartache softly flutters Silently swept from sight. Rosy cheeks and lovely laughter Ring within her thoughts A child's trusting touch Once had, but nevermore caught. Her darling's tender face Still haunts her fallen tears Sapphire eyes so innocent Now robbed of mortal years. The faint hope of tomorrow Harshly crumbled away When her child's lifeless body Was found upon that day. Saddened eyes cast downward For there is no relief To a mother's broken soul And a flood of cruel grief. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

K, i came over to thank you for your heartfelt reply to my poem today,I was moved by your words... this poem takes my words...you have touched me deeply twice in the same day. I thank you. take care, jm ...when you walked into the room, I saw their faces, you made it feel like time was standing still...and I felt fascination... then you turned and smiled in my direction... and my heart...gave me away. glass tiger |
