In This Light

Simply soulfully I've been touched to extremes
Ever kind and so delicately true
So, understand that beneath this generous sky
I'm going a mile back to remember you...

It's here, in brilliant form, one moment at a time
That I replay with all of my might
So, understand if I tend to grasp at your memory
When the only sweetness I've known lies in this light...

The road home is an honest pace to recall
And, misty-eyed I still smile
Understand if I sigh in the missing you kind of way
So, in this light let me roam awhile...

I cling to eternity in loyalty won
A glimpse back in the aisles of complete
Understand I may reside here the rest of my life
In this light where my mind allowed us to meet...

I kneel to any season and for any given reason
When in this light I'm given is brighter then the sun
Understand that everything you are I still see in me
And, with you in the distance I can't help but run...

For the sake of safe keeping I take it all in
Knowing somewhere in my days your heart I'll find
Understand I hold familiar with each hard to take breath
When in this light I can't touch what is mine...

Never narrow be the rays we're tenderly given
And, ever blessed I am for every memory I'm living
Understand in this light you are heartily seen
And, when you feel it may you recognize me...

Wow, I attempted to pick out a stanza, or just a line or two. It was impossible to say that I liked one more than another. They are all so perfectly divine. This is a splendid write. I did so enjoy the read of this.

(smiles) Oh Saunni, this is beautiful, sweet friend, yes, in memories the special warmth will always shine as I feel this way for Joanna until I lost her and for the other loved ones I've lost along the way! (kiss on cheek) God Bless You, sweet friend, yay, I'm so happy you're back and give you extra special friendship hugs, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Saunni, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Hello Saunni

How nice to see you here again and I hope you are well.

furnished by nature
and embroidered by imagination."

Take care......Sue

I am blue
Love is an ocean
I'm anchored in you
