Within the eyes of one beheld from whence the heart did rise
A picture showing did foretell of what was seen the eyes.
For in the eyes, the twinkling skies did fall upon my gaze
and from a cloudless starry night I stared in my amaze.

For what was seen but never seen was seen before this day
and from the sight of what was seen, I simply now must say
that from the view of red and smiles I certainly now do grin
and thank you for the journey and the trophy of one’s win.

This gift you gave so tenderly shall rest within the soul
and from this gift of tenderness a brassy bell shall toll.
Till skies do fall in darkest night before the full of moon
I’ll stand in thought of happiness which came to me this soon.

Barry


soft and tender
perfect in harmony

I lie awake at night
I reach out to touch
Feel you by my side
I reach I never feel you
Will I ever get to feel you again
Just one more time

I doubt I will ever again spy
a twinkling eye
without thinking of this.
Thank you, Magnus

How beautiful, Barry.  The girls (all three of us here) loved this.

(smiles) Awwwwwwww, this is beautifully delightful, sweet friend, I too love cloudless nights so I can see beyond all else in this precious galaxy and know I am small compared to it all and greater blessings will be bestowed upon us all, yay, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

twinkling eyes within a playful lilt


ENJOYED!!!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.
