Morning skies awaken
in amber hues
where God cradles
the quiet of calm

in his palms

It is then,
when thoughts drift   in wish
of finding lost moments

                 where fingertips touched the dawn

with hands clasped
dreams were shared
        {I can't erase the memories held there}

Night arrived too quickly
along with the
ditheistic nature
slowly burning,

turning you into
that sometimes stranger
unknown, yet known.

Blackness entwined
with rays of light
     and I tried

to keep you
from slipping
     to rise above
but darkness
overpowered

the power
of my love

now only reflections
linger at the edge
of what once was

where my heart lies
      ever still

Chose to chance the rapids
and dare to dance the tides...Garth...

Dang...
everyone is
waking up
on the seam of
the sun
this morning...

Excellent!

This one knows me so personally~

wonderful write poetess Donna.

I am sure of my reasons, embracing the seasons,
and the sacred simplicity of you at my side.

"...turning you into
that sometimes stranger.." Loved this (as usual from you) but those lines brought to mind a piece I haven't thought of in years...
actually the only thing my wife ever attempted to write, way back in '85 when I was writing darker things. Thanks for bringing back the memory.
