*~Celestial Embrace~*




It was as if the sun
had melted itself
into the sky

fiery colors
stained the virgin clouds
dancing them across the horizon
into the coming dark

a lavish show of lovers
caught in celestial embrace

I cannot find words
for this enchantment

my eyes inhale it
my soul drinks it deep

I become the words
~

(big hugggssssss) Oh Lyra, this is sooooooo beautiful, it made me cry because whenever I see or think of these gorgeous sunrises or sunsets, I think of my Joanna and how I dream so much of kissing her and sharing the beauty with her and how beautiful she is to me and to make my dreams come true with her! (kiss on cheek) This is soooooo lovely, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Lyra, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Sometimes, Lyra, it does feel overwhelming...
and that is when I cannot find the words...
bless you!

What wonderful words to match a beautiful sky. Whenever I see a rainbow I can never find the words to match it's spectacular beauty. Sometimes you just have to go with a feeling. And you did it perfectly.

Hugs, Marti
