If I could gather stars and weave them into lace
You would awaken wrapped in sentiment
There is perhaps no greater expression
Than the delicate unveiling of intimate light
That greater and best discovery inside
That wilderness that is scented with freedom
Lilac and lavender air that nurtures a well kept heart

I would not presume to know the all of you
For that is a journey I wish to make in inches and moments
A thrill I have tasted in the passing of lingered time
Thoughts that I savor long beyond the resonance of day
Dating an eternity that still glistens naturally in my eyes
I have not forgotten one sound or shape,
Or the colors that you wear
If I could gather stars and weave them into lace
I would keep a smile on your tender face for longer
Than the smoke that finds impression rising tenderly
Yet stronger

TD - This is absolutely beautiful. I am placing this gem straight way into my library. Hugs!

A beautifully written heartbeat write, heard and felt. Thank you, Kathy, for sharing these thoughts. I understand after reading another thread, the heartbeat captured within this peaceful write. My condolences, and gentle thoughts.
