The day she died was the day her saint died. Red apple roses and candles at her feet. She held a book so tightly, you couldn't read the title or guess its poetic weight. With her great, dark eyes she thought not of her tome, but the day's faded stars. Her granddaughter laid a sword on the simple box, gripped but once before. The candles were scented. The box was lowered. And they sang tomorrow is a prayer. |

This is beautiful and tells me that dreamers indeed live on... thank you for sharing... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
