-Calligraphy in the Stars-

Through the breeze
that blows in time,
the precious weave
in leaves of thyme

--------

Arriving in nowhere
getting up to her knees,
and saw for herself
a wonder of peace

A woman of beauty
that shimmered all time,
the radiance of stature
glowed from the divine

Kneeling before
this nature in gold,
their aura's blended
in ambrosia folds

No questions asked
and no want or need,
she bowed her head
anti-matter of a seed

A purity and rapture
from the halls of heaven,
guide her to light
thy will has begun

Never looking in fear
of searching eyes,
she turned on her heel
but to great surprise

A hand to chest
stopped all retreat,
she let out a breath
and thought to be beat

Her head started swimming
as a voice whispered near,
"Never wonder my child
I've always been here

When pain beats a tempo
with no path of escape,
I stand right beside you
its my hand at your nape

When sorrow sings arias
that peal through your heart,
I dwell deep inside you
conducting hope like Mozart

As grief shakes your core
and shadow swallows you,
in the light of the heavens
it's your name I'll tattoo

When serenity has found you
and nestled you near,
I'll watch from Nirvana
always holding you dear

I may not be with you
in body and mind,
but within all your cells
Is a heartbeat of mine

Know that your beauty
shone from the first,
you've always been humble
its knowledge you thirst

My darling daughter
I'm right there inside,
just open your heart
I'm not that hard to find"

--------

I write this and wonder
at visions of dreams,
and will this message
slip through times seam

What can we leave of value but love

These are the words of deep love and a priceless gift. Can I be picky and ask why I stumble on the line 'they will has begun ' I want to say Thy but I am not sure if you had a different meaning. I just loved the humour in the verse As grief shakes your core and shadow swallows you, in the light of the heavens it’s your name I’ll tattoo Made me laugh through the blur of the tears Hugs Seabhac

simply beautiful

I think you daughter will cherish this; (I too have left a gift.) I find it sad but understand you are aiming for those times in life she will need you. It is tender and caring and full of enduring love. if I may, I would let you know that I tripped up on the breaks in what seemed like an unconfined rhyme scheme. this made me feel good to read, ken

Dear Ken,Life is full of

Dear Ken, Life is full of uncertaintanty ... and we never know when we aren't going to be here ... I am for planning ahead,and thats what this is ... I think most parents when they are ill or getting older do things similiar to this ... and its just natural to want to have a connection past the veils even if its just words ... but they are my words woven with all the love in my heart ... I am glad it made you feel good it was meant to radiate peace ... and I hope when she needs it ... it does the same for her ... Love and hugs Jayne x x
