My knight to glimmer sighted on the right side
Once formally to shimmer on the bright tied

Myself a pawn without a destination
Once more to jump in jubilant libation

My knight to cover far and near in beacon
Once told in hard and clear my soul to weaken

Myself a simple dreamer of the life game
Once more to wish these wishes of a spring rain

My knight, the fullest content and frustration
Once bold in some farfetched appreciation

Myself a single thought in endless wonder
Once formally princess now daughter thunder

My knight to clear the way as gently guarded
Myself to make my day through tears departed

Well, I have a crystal chess board and I thought I might learn something---and I did--about love, not chess.

Wonderfully expressed metaphor.

I could see the board through all the action. I liked playing. Thank you.

(sigh) Oh Kathleen, this is just beautiful, sweet friend, I love it, and may love always be like this game and you win a scholar's mate, where together your love will always stalemate you in the heavens! (kiss on cheek) I just love this, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathleen, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you

Love,
Noah Eaton
