"Kissed By The Passing Breeze of Awakening"
Sponsor, John Lawless


 

I stood before your grave
mid whispers of the breeze,
and 'neath the midnight moon, 
observed the garden maze
of lovely leaves and blooms 
'round your eternal bed;
each faithful guardian 
supports your lifeless rest.

Then I looked up and saw, 
in clouds, 'neath moonlit sky,
an angel there above 
had signaled not to cry.
Your soul glowed in her arms
beneath soft wings of white.
My heart was filled with peace; 
to heaven you took flight.

This poem is so lovely and almost "other worldly" in it's expressions, Sandra. I know you are busy with your husband right now, and I hope he is recovering...I miss reading more of your poetry here. God bless :)
