Nostalgia
Calm, cool mornings
Blessed with sunlight’s whisper,
Birds crooning softly in the distance,
Breathless dewdrops sliding hastily over
A petal, treasuring the promise of rain,
Hesitating then pouring down from heaven
In pails of beating BBs, little treasures
Telling of the adventures…
Mists rising on the river,
Inhaling the beautiful blessings,
Rich colors, blushing with the sounds,
Bubbling waters caressing the smooth stones,
Erasing the yesterday – the melancholy
Bleeding away, like plasma torn from her wounds,
Descending from the darkness,
Aching like the moon who remembers –
Graceful praises, heartfelt moments
The blending of acres of hope and a heritage
Blazing with joy – kindness – nostalgia
Her heart hears the heavens opening up,
Awakening on the autumn – glowing
Like stars who glisten in the distance, friendly
With the moon and just as beautiful as the moment
When a silent wish breathes through the distance,
Mystifying – freeing the friends to remember –
Just remember….
The hopes and dreams, the prayers and freedom
Filling the moments, the summer – the fall,
Binding up desires with graceful tunes, melodies
Pouring from the moments, rich with truth,
Ablaze with a beautiful that is shining like the
Moments, the reflections full of hope,
The inspirations growing in the hearts who know
This is the memory beyond recollections…
It is the heart, the soul, the direction
Taken by two who are bound by faith, grace
Unending beautiful – friends for life,
Living on the echo of prayers who remember
To reach past the darkness into the healing
The feeling embracing each remembrance
Two lights, two hearts, two joys who will never
Be past – they will always last – in the soul
Who knows that love just keeps going – going
Forever more, inside the heart who grows
More beautiful with each harvest time!
Thanks to love, I know the beautiful of nostalgia,
The beautiful of remembering – beautiful descending
From the promise of a wonderful who breathes –
Wishes and radiates friendship!
