Piping spawn of liquid gold is fastened to the sky spinning spider webs of shimmering daybreak into the fluttering cloak of coming morn. Moments laced in puffs of periwinkle cloud fall gently ‘round me as lazily the sunshine floats in pearled strings of light. I hold you in sleepy thoughts feeling the memories fly through the emerald twirl of the willow leaves and into the trail of my lonely tears. I need you now for the tempest threatens with ashen fingertips blowing silvered ice into the darkened hollows of my being. Time’s gateway opens to give but a single glimpse of your drifting silhouette and for a second...just a second I know you, feel you, remember you As you once were... The clouds recede softly falling away from my soul allowing the splendor of daybreak to forever glitter within me. *Krista Knutson* "You never lose by loving. You always lose by holding back." -Barbara DeAngelis |

Beautiful poem, sweetheart, with that hint of sadness, and a glimmering hope at the end. I especially loved the verse: "I hold you in sleepy thoughts feeling the memories fly through the emerald twirl of the willow leaves and into the trail of my lonely tears." Truly beautiful and stirring, I enjoyed this much  Abrahm Simons "Keep on dreamin' boy 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" - Blind Melon |

This was as brilliant as daybreak. Poetic muse breaks in you. Be well Kethry "It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures; but it is the loss that shapes the image, gathers the flowers weaves the garland."- |
