The Very Least It was the least one could do To catch the wind’s cool sigh The very least one might do, Lingering over a last good bye Your lips swept warm over me A thousand waves of sheer delight The very least that you could do Before you left that night It was the very least for me To see blue eyes, still haunting, And like the very beast of you, Your love for me, still wanting Like a refrain from sad old songs That lingers throughout the night The very least that still belongs Is beholding you in my sight The very least of me is this true love Set forever free upon wings of a dove |

(sigh) So beautifully bittersweet, sweet friend! (sigh) May your love forever shine and become something magical that seems like the most of joy! (big hugggssssss) We all love you so much, sweet friend, your work is always the greatest pleasure to read! (kiss on cheek) You have such a beautiful heart, sweet lady, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Very nice, Lady... I particularly like the final couplet... On the wings of a white dove.. a perfect place for a love that's free... |

Wow ... this piece just makes me want to sigh. It flows so wonderfully, and the lines just wind together into a beautiful, sweetly sad song. ~What is cherished most is what must be the hardest fought for.~ |
