Colors of yesterday
Faded on each petal
Gathered together
Still alive with beauty

Remembering the giving,
The night before, that
Summer night full of
Promise outlined in love

Lost in darkness deep
Eyes of void crying
In silence, crying tender
To a frail heart upon your name,

In my darkest hour your love
Is found in scattered petals
And lingering sounds
Of your voice in the wind's gentle
Sigh it remains, in calm of night

I stand at the seas edge
I feel your strength lapping
My feet, again my memory recalls,
Each tide, each storm, each peace
That flows and weaves your reflection

My soul outstretched in whys
Serenity and tranquility will follow
Scattered gently in cendres et roses
To a frail heart upon your name

**********

"Though my soul may sit in darkness,
It will arise in perfect light.
I have loved the stars too fondly
To be fearful of the night".

It just keeps getting better and better sweet one. Wonderful gift you share.

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

my words & breath are taken once again....
never ever doubt that this love and the person who inspires these gifts in you is your sweetest muse.
this is simply stunning and an amazing level of inspire.

It will arise in perfect light.

and for this and the butterfly memory it brought me I wish to thank you ...

I love your imperfections ... I love your everything ...
Your broken heart ... your broken wings.

Lauren,

Simply lovely, my friend. A very tender poem this is, as tender as the petals.

And because this is so truly beautiful and I just couldn't help but read it again and put it back at the top where it should be. Here's a bump for you hon, it's deserving of it. *s* Hugs
