Cast Away


You still light softly upon my heart
and cast away the darkness there,
though we have grown farther apart,
neither one much worse for wear.

I still smile when I lay down to sleep,
finding comfort in what used to be,
and knowing that somewhere deep
you still smile and dream of me.

I still adore you after all these years,
remembering youth long passed away,
darkness will never entertain my fears,
you still light and cast away.

This is so delicate and poignant.  It's like a butterfly that alights on your heart and swiftly flutters away.

Nice job.

Dixie, this is a side of you that is very
pleasurable to see, read and absorb.

Lovely reflection on what was...and in part still is.

Sing in me muse...
and through me tell the story~
