Flowers In Your Hair, Gold Dust On Your Trailing Gown, Robert Lindley and Nicola Byrne

Flowers In Your Hair, Gold Dust On Your Trailing Gown ( Robert Lindley and Nicola Byrne ) Flowers in your hair, gold dust on your trailing gown You my true sky angel, had floated right on down. Golden sandals on your feet, toenails glowing white All eternity shan’t see a prettier sight. Your soft and gentle voice, a million ways of sweet Your touch is my hope and your kiss, love-food to eat. Each moment a true blessing, you my darling gave Each dance your gift, healing treasures, my heart to save. Love of my life, sing softest hymns to this lost soul For before you came, sorrows took a heavy toll. Know darling, this heart and spirit you have thus healed, Should fate deny us, with love, truth has been revealed. Now every balmy breeze that blows against my skin, Resonant of your kisses, brings a joyous grin. In the sun’s warm splendour, a halo I doth see Shine upon the waters, where love’s eyes swim to me. And every now and then, blessed with rains from above, I feel your tender touch, the glory of your love. Your scent, like fragrant blossoms, straight from heaven’s lawn Exhilarates the senses, waking me each dawn. Firm witness is the world, to thy healing powers and graceful presence, bringing halcyon hours. All that I envision, to turn around a frown: Flowers in your hair, gold dust on your trailing gown. Collaboration by Robert J. Lindley and Nicola Byrne 5-22-2017

Hi Robert, an absolutely beautiful write by Nicola and yourself. I was captivated by every lovely line. If i could but write one like this i could put down my pen saying, "Job Done." You have both taken me into a living dream through your words. I have no decent words to tell you both how good i think this write is. Robert, the words sing straight into my heart. This is a seven and a fave. Your Friend always....Mike.
