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?
