I have heard of shadows
who's movement's create the wind.
Of stars so mystified
they cause their light to bend.

Of changes in the tide
that comes from the moons great heart.
Of pleasures to this Earth
that we have yet to impart.

But one thing I have learned
in my short time alive.
Is how to love with my soul
and share it with your eyes.

Those eyes that sent me to you
only to have to leave.
My heart did break away
for I swore we were to be.

And now I console myself
with knowing you as I do.
My heart will grow with yours
through out these years we bring.

This is exquisite!! The imagery you created
is some of the best I've seen...and this
place is filled with masters!  I especially
loved......

"But one thing I have learned
in my short time alive.
Is how to love with my soul
and share it with your eyes."


Beauty and sadness all rolled together to
make a most magnificent weave....wonderful
work~

Michael...
      
     "...how to love with my soul, and
         share it with your eyes..."

   That has to be one of the most expressive
   lines I've read here!!
             This is beautiful!

"Is how to love with my soul

Oh Michael. All I can say i your inspiration must be re thinking all she has done and loving you more with each passing day. You remind us all with your poetry to think with your heart, to really listen to it. I am sure she did'nt for if she had she would be with you in the way it was ment. She will love you forever, this I am sure of.

Oh, how I was instantly pulled in by "I have heard of shadows who's movement's create the wind. Of stars so mystified they cause their light to bend."  And once my expectations were up... you never let me down!  Magnificent!!
