Forever

A beauteous fenestration
reflected the dawn,
a thousand shards of colour
held a moments awe

the stars danced
to a last riff
in heaven,
and the Great Orb
laid down to sleep,
yet none or all
of this wonder,
couldnt muffle
my screeching heart

you wavered,
T'ween the dark
and the spark,
but closing your eyes
you raced onto the
next great adventure,
leaving a scatter
of broken hearts.

all the four corners
sobbed to silence,
whispered memories, shared,
were clutched close,
as gorgeous, echoes of you

softly,
softly,
as you bent to the morn
and our grieving spent,
we pondered
your spectacular life

thankful
grateful
and loving,
your essence
runs deep
in our veins

today we miss tomorrow,
though in memory
we have forever to meet.

Someone should be singing about Jayne..........Singing about her memories...........Singing about her pain......She's more than worth a chorus and a couple of refrains.....So someone should be singing about Jayne!
