.15.. silhouette of goodness

dear silhouette of goodness
plum of effervescence
budding youthful innocence
where have you gone?

 

my heart you dance
with nimble fingered smiles
in all your ways and wiles
with you i soar

 

through all the miles
to other worlds
have now you flown
where ere the wind has blown?

 

to somewhere else you've gone
so real you were
giddy happy demure
and now, no more

 

i look i see
but naught there is, just me
what fate, when all the world
was mine, with you

 

and now this emptiness

 

pass by this way again
if, oh you might
that once again your form,
your shape, your flight
might pass my sight

 

oh, dear, if when i pass
there is one gift that i could leave
it would be this

that everlasting light and peace
and bliss, and happiness
could always and for all eternity
be yours

 

my light is dying
though all won't be for naught

if yours a little brighter will be

if you might have
some fancy memory of me

 

so many dreams, ah yes
we've had them, dreams
we've dreamed, we dream

 

where are these dreams we've had
have they all gone
have you
have you gone too

 

where are you dear
you know i miss you still
you know i miss you
and i always will

John, truly your thoughts flow from your heart in every word you speak. You express yourself so well I could feel the story as if you were talking directly to me. Do keep your thoughts flowing....you were truly blessed with expressing yourself thru poetry. Melody
