Your eyes are closed; I watch you rest. I treasure you whom I loved best. I wonder that our lives were such We gave the other so very much. You were my heart, my very soul You made our home you were my whole. You turn in sleep with a touch of smile Upon your lips and all the while I gaze at you, so lovely still; and wish you love, I always will. The one that took me from you, love I have no knowing from here, above. Your image fades, they say it does Something about time and death because We cannot always see our dears for too much pain and too many tears. But when the mist is clear for me I send my love evermore to thee. Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

Hauntingly lovely. A love like this never dies--its form may change, but it will endure the test of time and transcend across all space. This you have so wonderfully portrayed through your eloquent and moving words. Earth Angel |

Ken, I love the way that you wrote this in the person of the already deceased. It really was as if a spirit was writing it. There were some Biblical truths in it, too (no tears in Heaven). It was beautiful, but hauntingly so. Thanks for sharing with us. "Love makes the world go around" |

For Mark and Noah: Thank you for your kind praise. For E, EA and GG, thank you for your thoughtful words. Sometimes I look for the imagery that Nancy has mastered, but feel best with simple words. Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
