The Letter of Love “Happy New Year, my darling, may all future days be cast in light, may all your dreams wish you good nights…” His love letter spoke of dreams to come, he wrote to her of chrysanthemums that would in her garden grow… as would the glow in her heart… “Happy New Year, my darling,” laid before her eyes, the sound of his voice in her ears, reprised, and she saw there in recall of blue eyes, the look of her in love with wise. She glanced again at his strong scrawl, the message of love sent across the walls of timeless pall to her. So sure had he been his future was bright! All he could see was her in his nights ~ as she recalled the last time he was near, “Happy New Year, my darling,” his voice resplendent as he had draped her neck with a silver pendant… “Happy New Year, my love,” she whispered low and in soft of candle light’s glow, she fingered the treasure draped on her neck, and picked up the article of the car wreck “Happy New Year, my beloved,” she whispered through tears ~ “I miss you so, these many years” and at the stroke of twelve she sought the sound of his voice that her memory wrought “Happy New Year, my darling, may all future days be cast in light ~ may all your dreams wish you good nights…” 12.31.00 revised 30 December 2001 Please be careful when driving this New Years' Eve. I want to see everyone back on 1/1/03!!! |

Ithought it was beautifully done. It was sad but felt pretty sure it would be so was prepared for that. It was positive in the fact the two were still connected spiritually, that death does not destroy happy memories, that life does go on in spite of tragedy and in my opinion we can still connect with those loved and lost. I just plain really liked it. |

WOW, speechless, numb, awesome, yet so humbling... Happy New Year Sun, and let this poem be read that one might return to say those words to their special someone... If one can be saved, this is priceless.... |
