There was once a woman
Loved so dearly
Like big band theory
Exploding in brilliance
Forever in mind
Now an apparition
Reduced to hypothesis
Questioning
Mere fabric of time
Passing in orbit
Once in 80 years
World's apart
Never to unite
A fountain
Drawing up from within
Pressure shouts
To the sky
Cascades fly
Cleansed by daylight
Casting spectrums
Onlookers' mouths
Open wide
Glittering delight
Only to fall
To murky depths below
Awaiting next flight
As fires burn out
Sky falls down
Storms abate
Floods recede
Sometimes best
To ride it out
Breaking heart
Time to heal
All I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme
~ Dire Straits
You taught me all
Mysteries of miniature
Universe beneath
Endless surprise
Wander to capture
Beauty reflected
In our eyes
Forever floundering
In this dear
Broken heArt
Of mine
Young mother treads by
Soft bundle wrapped on warm chest
Just like long ago
A lifering
Squalls capsize
Survive gales
Inflatable ego
Punctured bail
Ocean swallows
Strong arm fails
Love buoys will
Till smooth sail
Upon first glance
Face pale moonlight
Equal to beauty
Illuminated to many
Revolutions of earth
A woman of substance
Fine grain as wood
Seasons surround bloom
Flourishing, blaze endured
Striking contrast
Colours lines artistry
Framing graciously
Most glorious smile
Gentle touch
A mother's words
Soothes my need
Let it be enough
Count the stars of heaven
