A shadow drenched in silver tears Cries beneath sweet Luna's eyes Broken, bleeding by the chains Which her shattered soul devised. A mound of softly heaving flesh Fallen 'pon the sooted ground Fingers clawing at the dreams Which fade without a sound. A glimmer hovers overhead The touch new, but felt before Warming like like the angel's fire Upon Heaven's crystal shore. A seraph clad in mortal skin Breathes love in whispered words Infusing life into dying eyes With truths once left unheard. Threaded by the hand of fate Our souls now pulse as one Swaying through the twilight's swirl Faces pointed towards the sun. ***This is for you, Abrahm. You've always been the light behind me, the one to take this tattered and broken soul into the light. More so than you may ever know. Thank you for everything my love. Happy Anniversary.*** *Krista Knutson* "We are not seperate from spirit, we are in it." ~Plotinus~ |
