A Tribute To Someone Near

Each day when I awake She appears as Golden sunshine that both Uplifts and warms my Yearning heart And I dwell within a palace Of her love where radiance Unending, rich with Wisdom flows and Blesses me with strength Even then at end of day As our peaceful world Grows still, she comes as Moonlight walking and Grants me precious sleep Who is this dream That captivates My world but is Not of it And never will be A kiss that I might give Will never be Enough, but she Treasures it as rubies I’m floating now through Gardens of delight and Marvel that another Year awaits and still This vision I can hold

I'm delighted to have been able to share. So who am I talking about: a person or an entity from the unseen world?
