Lace And Candelabra
My thoughts now flicker shadowed walls
As lace through candelabra falls
Though littered in such sweet design
I’m comforted that they are mine
Through memories that plan ahead
My mind erases what I dread
Replaced by scattered thoughts that dare
To linger as my feelings flare
So beautiful, this life I know
The summer sun, the fallen snow
As interwoven flashes form
I dance in time, so soft and warm
A blink of flying, island sleeps
Those weddings, bidding joyful weeps
The Christmases and birthdays fair
My knowing you are always there
As thoughts still flicker fancy free
I worry not the state of me
A respite always finds my will
As rested as when time stands still
