on a shoestring dream
     i ride the skies
holding on with just my heart

through the mist
     i pierce the moon
erupting starburst sparks
          into your hand

hold on to these,
     my precious embers
          rubies from my soul

place them in the heart of you
     where they can burn in brilliance
          
and lure me back
     from shoestring dreams
          to reclaim the fire
               now burning in you...

Very lovely. Whimsical and moving. Softly said but said so very well!

superb penning of imagery and emotion in this
very cool write DG.

When to the sessions of sweet silent thought,
I summon up remembrance of things past ...
I sigh the lack of many a thing I sought.
