In the space between moments

I rest myself upon
your grave
fingers laced soft through
spring grasses and
autumn thoughts

I lift my face
upward to falling sun
on the chance
that I may glimpse your soul-sparkle
in the early evening stars

I dream of youth
mine and yours
both stolen in the space
of a second
that changed an eternity

I rest myself
in dew-drenched memory
and cling
to the light of life
as darkness creeps in.

This is so lovely, in a bit of a dark way. Yet the words allow for the softest of touch upon the reader. I like this.

(big hugggsssssss) Yes, always embrace the light as that is where comfort and rest is always found and the angels will offer you strength! (sigh) This is very heartfelt, sweet friend, yay, I'm happy to read your poetry again, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Krista, thank you for sharing!

May love and light always shine upon you!

Good to see you back... again.
I loved this poem. The imagery was wonderful, the blending of the acutal with the etherial was great.

Krista this is a bittersweet beauty...
it is so good to read your lovely surreal, ethereal style of poetry again.
hope you'll share some more.
