*Dedicated to Abrahm Simons and Cassie Roseen-- My best friends and saviors from the darkness* Ruby petals drift and fall From forgotten rose's face Silken dreams once present here Are absent from this place. Creeping moss of olive green Lays soft beneath my feet Upon the wing of rising breeze Sorrow's kiss I greet. In quiet regret I gently fade Into luna's whispy white But here within the lonely sky A single star glows bright. In shimmering eyes I see myself Framed in liquid gold Fire comes within your touch And frees me from the cold. Within forever's crystal shine My soul now gently sighs For your love has rescued me And taught me how to fly. *Krista Knutson* ~We are only truly lost when we have lost ourselves~ |

A beautiful tribute, "My best friends and saviors from the darkness" your dedication means a lot to me as I have two friends who are as close and special to me as your friends, your poem reminded me of a wonderful friendship I am lucky to have thank you. a fantastic poem, stunning. Ruby petals drift and fall From forgotten rose's face Silken dreams once present here Are absent from this place.

Krista~ When the eyes shimmer with friendships glow ... it shows within the heart as love ... and on the face as a smile. I can see your smile ! Just beautiful, dear. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
