May you walk among the stars of morning
Eden waiting silent for the dawn,
ready to unravel without warning,
restless with the urge to be reborn.
Years of longing pale into beauty,
a never-realized dream unfolds.

Remember that the flow is not the stream.
In my heart you wear a crown of glory
so radiant that time must turn away.
The vision rises from the untold story
more lovely than what sees the light of day.
As you can never know just who your are,
so let my love become your eastern star,
and you my western sun rising.



Written in Celebration
of Love Discovered

For two special friends

Interloper: thank you. I'm not sure what happened to the music, but imagine Enya playing gently inthe background.

Wonderful writing......

                          "In my heart you wear a crown of glory
                             so radiant that time must turn away.
                             The vision rises from the untold story
                          more lovely than what sees the light of day.
                           As you can never know just who your are,
                           so let my love become your eastern star,
                               and you my western sun rising."

Very poetic and well done!

ethome and Sven: thank you. Yes, it was meant to be a blessing. I don't ordinarily write love poetry so it felt a bit strange.

Very nice. And you are certainly writing love poetry well, for someone who doesn't usually do it!
