Petal

In the stillness of the
night, among the falling,
frozen tears, the shadow
of your lips brushed
mine, while your whispered
promise captured my
breath along with all
the fears

And in the wind
that caresses my cheek,
I hear my name escape,
into the endless starry sky
up above the empty night

And from the clouds the angels
reach and pull my name
to them, and scribe across
the heavens with the brightest
star there is ... my name, from you,
above it all ... no one can take away
it's written in stars forever
forever and a day

And every night before I sleep
I watch those angels work, a special
magic just for me, from you, done with
their iridescent glow

And to this day, no one but me,
will ever understand just what it
truly means to be a ...
    Petal, within the Snow
        

"...I am a river in winter,
quiet in the eyes of most
but deep,
swift and full of life
to one, lucky enough to fall through the ice.

So tenderly beautiful!

This carried me through many thoughts, and though I could tell some were not the intended avenues to take, I was truly blessed by the trip.

For me, there were two poems, two messages, here.  Not that one could separate them into two parts. No, more that one could derive two distinctly different thoughts from a reading.

One worldly and one spiritual.  Lovely piece!

Sunshine, thank you for the reply.

VAS, I really appreciate the time you took to reply here and in private. You made perfect sense and I can't tell you what a compliment that is for me, to know you saw deeper than the first layer means more to me than you will know! Thank you so very much!!

kindasorta, thank you so much for that wonderful reply.. although you did give me a chuckle.. as much as I love the male species, I am however a woman.. *smiling* but do appreciate you taking the time to reply ;-)

Nathan... thank you so very much! I'm glad you enjoyed this. < !signature-->

This makes me want to look up to the heavens at the splendor that's written there. Thank you for the celestial trip
