. . . a souvenir of selfless stars salute,

shine and shimmer.

in a secured state:

silvery shadows share secluded silence,

scintillating, becoming dimmer.

you -

sustaining like a synchronized swimmer,

show me, our syllables still glimmer

Author’s Note: In moments of solitude, it’s all about attitude.

Through those moments, you reassured me, and I encouraged you.

Thank you, Gordon. The moments within, are a connection of emotions that are shared with a friend. I appreciate you and your kind words. I'm doing well.

Brandy, your poem is a celestial masterpiece, where selfless stars salute, shine, and shimmer in a secured state of silvery shadows, sharing secluded silence. The imagery is profound, and your words, like a synchronized swimmer, sustain and illuminate our syllables, making them gleam with enduring brilliance. - Blessings, Daniel

Dear Brandy, this is a masterclass in alliteration that I can learn from and a stunning tribute to Tom. You are such a gifted poet with the immense ability to be able to convey so much ( and heartfelt too) with just a few artfully crafted words/ lines. Your poems are always profound and a honour to read. Love, ‘ our syllables still glimmer’ especially. Alongside Tom’s, your syllables don’t just glimmer they glow! Hugs and smiles to you :):)

Brandy Nicole

Dear Christina, you place me higher than I deserve. At this moment, you leave me in complete awe, with all your kind words and compliments. Thank you doesn't seem enough, but from the bottom of my heart, I am beyond grateful. My heart is smiling with you saying that my syllables glow, along with Tom's. Our light will always shine. You and your thoughts are appreciated. Many wonderful blessings to you. :) Hugs and smiles, Brandy

... STYLE, titanic, yea : spectacular; effect: colossally endemic, bearing feelings of human involvement … all who read reliably feel a total solo-captivation, if not more; ride on, Brandy, my poetess of speculative romanticism! I still feel such a powerful stitching of the soul through an uplifting pen!,

Brandy Nicole

Dear Canny, a forever friendship, along with support; is the motivation for this particular piece. Those in darkness will always feel the light through 'selfless syllables," from me and my faraway friend. So kind of you to say, I'm a "poetess of speculative romanticism." Thank you for your wonderful comment. :) Brandy
