Hushed pallor decends the sky Dusting tenderly Upon the scarlet sage Which enwreathes saturated earth Where tearstains bathed in crystal light Fall in intricate patterns. Weaving apparitions of love Braid among threads of moonlight Humming a bittersweet swan's song Memories lay enshrined in gold Among the clouds of heaven. Whispers glint in tragic eyes And leap from soul to soul But only the belief in tomorrow- In hope, in life, in love forevermore Will guide us past the pain. Lift thine eyes and gently fly Past the pale shroud of blue And into the quietly waiting dreams Of blossoming eternity. This is dedicated to Jeffrey Moen. I wish you the best of happiness in everything, my friend. Thank you for all you've given me while we were together. *Krista Knutson* ~We are only truly lost when we have lost ourselves~ |

Beautiful poem, Krista... especially considering the dedication and what's happened. "But only the belief in tomorrow- In hope, in life, in love forevermore Will guide us past the pain." That's a philosophy to live by in my opinion.. The best to you, my friend.. for you surely deserve it Abrahm Simons "You... You are so special You have the talent To make me feel like Dirt" - Alice in Chains, "Dirt" |

Krista~ That was a beautiful poem. Your dedication shows how great of a person you are. You deserve the best. That was a very inspirational poem. "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying." Harry Anderson, "Night Court" *Cassandra Roseen* |
