Sprigs of fragrant lavender Rest 'pon the hills of green Swooning with the morning's song Of day still left unseen. The giggle of the floating sun Chimes within the sky And streaming with the rays of gold Memories of softness fly. Stained glass windows of my soul Let rainbow light surround For the glimmer known as you Has let light in me be found. Sweet maiden of the diamond stars Is folding 'neath the day For she knows darkness has no place Where love has lit the way. So here beneath the breaking dawn I shall brush my tears aside For the stained glass windows deep within Have let your grace inside. *Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." -Barbara DeAngelis |

Sweet maiden of the diamond stars Is folding 'neath the day For she knows darkness has no place Where love has lit the way. So here beneath the breaking dawn I shall brush my tears aside For the stained glass windows deep within Have let your grace inside. Absolutely beautiful. I can't say enough about this other than that. |

Stained glass windows of my soul Let rainbow light surround For the glimmer known as you Has let light in me be found. Sweet maiden of the diamond stars Is folding 'neath the day For she knows darkness has no place Where love has lit the way. So here beneath the breaking dawn I shall brush my tears aside For the stained glass windows deep within Have let your grace inside. ====================== Krista...this is EXCEPTIONAL... i am just sitting here shaking my head... as always your imagery is amazing and your vocab and rhyme perfect but what really impresses me about this jewel is the conception of it-- the thoughts behind it... the poetic meaning of the metaphor of the stained glass window... absolutely brilliant K, very very impressive piece of work your muse needs to be kissed for this one.. Im sure you can take care of that-right  later-awed me again- gator jm There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

Well, the Dusk Treader is here, a little late, a little sick, but with a big smile despite all. Wonderful poem filled with your stunning imagery. Absolutely beautiful, I loved this much Abrahm Simons "Keep on dreamin' boy 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" - Blind Melon |
