So bright across the sky her star did shine To bring the scent of roses, days of wine In colourful array and vibrant charm She held her days of life upon her arm I saw her for a moment, held by time And in her wake I felt my spirits climb She brightened me that day and my heart soared In her I saw the hope of life's reward A star that passed and fell into decline Although her scent reminds of rose red wine And brings to me the joy of days gone by Where laughter filled my mind and cleared my eye She's gone - but in my heart she's living still I learned from her to drink of life - its fill Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.

Although her scent reminds of rose red wine And brings to me the joy of days gone by Where laughter filled my mind and cleared my eye Painfully beautiful, Kethry! I've missed reading your heart speak~ and it's so good to see you here. |

She's gone - but in my heart she's living still I learned from her to drink of life - its fill Then she's smiling. *S* For we really can't ask for more... than to make life better... and be remembered with love. *S* Beautiful tender write, dear lady... it's good to read your pen again! *S* |

Beautiful memories, it is better to have loved and lost, than not to have had love at all! |

"I learned from her to drink of life--its fill"... A legacy that she left behind that makes her star shine even more brightly. ![]() Loving hugs, Linda |

She held her days of life upon her arm I saw her for a moment, held by time And in her wake I felt my spirits climb She brightened me that day and my heart soared In her I saw the hope of life's reward ========================================== She's gone - but in my heart she's living still I learned from her to drink of life - its fill ================================= *smiling at you* what a bittersweet beauty this is.... the sweetest of sonnets... what your words speak of are what I call butterfly lessons ... She's gone - but in my heart she's living still rhymes divine me girlie...DIVINE ![]() "How could I stand here with you and not be moved by you." |

Hi Keth. I enjoyed this one. In the first line, I'd rephrase to get rid of the 'did shine'. Maybe, 'So bright across the sky I watched her shine' or something. ![]() Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
