Slender Threads, Faith, and Time

I thought of you today
on the glimmer of a thread
backed up by time
where pages leaf me to laughter
and wisdom

and life is balanced

I thought of the disarray of life
as the pendulum swung back, and forth,
how we can go from gleam
to dusty fingerprints

         

and etchings of love
can be as fragile as crystal
or as brilliant as the faith
one is born with
or acquires

I thought of time spent
and times to come
where I might hold all
or nothing
but memories

In this hushed perusing
of my belief, designed
by a larger force,
it becomes forged more solid
than ever…

of how, without knowing, you’ve
touched me, in ways that
I will be able to return to,
through your writing

your art

your beliefs…

and how much I look forward
to more moments
spent with you
no matter how much time we have
or don’t have…

I thought of you today
on the glimmer of a thread
backed up by time
where pages leaf me to laughter
and wisdom

and life is balanced

because I will see you here

and there

on a glimmer
in time
with laughter
by wisdom

balanced.

Oh my...time does go by so quickly..
in the blinking of an eye, a day, a year a lifetime.
Yes, Lyra will always be remembered
in her writing, her art, her kindness
and strength of human spirit.
Lyra will never be forgotten.
Beautiful tribute to a beautiful spirit.
~Hugging you tight for this remember~

Sunshine,

   What a beautiful tribute.   I could feel the richness in this and your friendship.  It is wonderful to be able to look back at our treasures, isn't it?

Completely Enchanting
Sung from the Heart

Roots swell strong
mountains rise
another step adorned
by light you Shine

"High on the Mountain, where the Sun stil Shines, and the water runs a little lazy."
