If carelessly, we lose the ethereal things we value,
what other treasures might we then forsake?"
~ Quote by poet
I will always hold dear to my heart, ethereal things,
love letters, written and received, feathered wings.
Poems I've penned about castles within fantasy realms,
and the fragile seedlings from a grove of ancient elms.
There's my mother's yellowed Alencon lace wedding veil.
Carefully, I must handle it, now since it's become frail.
A diary of dreams I've had, those I never want to forget,
songs that my love and I shared. Losing them, I'd regret.
What could be more Angelical than an infant sleeping?
Memories of such ethereal things are worth safe keeping.
I treasure dried roses because it's such an exotic flower,
and time left of living, when it's measured by the hour.
Friendships that for whatever forgotten reason have been lost.
Sorrow for unfinished poems that never should've been tossed.
I will cling to good reveries that live in my heart forever.
It's an undertaking worth the crusade; a satisfying endeavor.
