I wrote this for my wife, Minnie while attempting to imulate (copy) the form from the poem "She Walks in Beauty" by Lord Byron. If anyone knows the name of this form - please share it and thanks for your assistance and/or critical review. Terrell Martin

I miss you more than sky is blue Piercing sunlight from beyond; Days made old and mind anew My weariness like a song: When up is down too many few Tightropes when you’re gone. Needing you more than oceans deep Currents in the flow; Wide awake or drifting sleep Lying in pure snow: If I should die my soul to keep Wherever you may go. Remember me when I have sailed To that far away world of dreams; Think well of me though I have failed From time to time it seems: While upon my ship I’ll man the rails In search of your endless lighthouse beam.

I love it Terry, the trip is full of sad magic and that world of dreams just seems to be beyond the grasp. PS Your visits are always so special and people like you inspire me to keep writing.

Liz, it's ALWAYS a special gift hearing from you and I do hope this finds you well. I've been busy trying to keep head above water since returning home to Tampa from Egypt last year and I find it more difficult to focus on poetry these days. But thank you for dropping in and owe you a visit as well. Peace dear friend:) Terry
