All of Heaven’s Stars - A sonnet

He gave me back my life, he gave me love
A love that still resides within my keep
And every one of heaven’s stars above
Illuminates his essence as I sleep

They know full well that such a love as this
Was never meant to happen nor impart
The sorrow that is wrought as memories twist
And wrap a tender warmth around my heart

They only stayed as witness to the peace
That filled me to the depth of spirit’s core
Exquisite moments that would never cease
To rapture all the stars at heaven’s door

Both they and I in all eternity
Will never know the way love comes to be

Oh, Elizabeth!!!  ::sigh:: how lovely...

I feel rather inadequate to the task of being the first to respond to this.. what words can I say that will be as sensational as those you have written?

I am mute in my admiration.

I emulate Peppermint's inability to comment adequately...sometimes, words of thanks are just not enough...
