Fountains of Faith

In the garden of time
I weave and wait

------------

Sleepwalking dreams
draping tendrils of light,
spread from the moon
to move through the night

In a flowing nightdress
the dear faeries had made,
from sage and silver
that never will fade

Eternally I'm winding
to the curve of the tip
with tail wrapped round
See my smile from the ship

And If I should fall
and fly to the ground,
as wings reach to sweep
love will layer all around

My whispering wind
I'll send,to ease your pain
and the warmth of the earth
will provide a barrier to rain

And as a thirst for life
turns your mouth to dust,
a cascade of wonder
will shower as lust

As leaves of sorrow
shadow our eyes,
I will stroke your hand
as light dims outside

As joy lights your world
and wreathes you in smiles,
my arms will reach out
across all the miles

All presence has gone
but I'll still be here,
as an essence of life
that held you all dear

------------

At the fountain of love
Raise a glass to faith

Dearest One

Thank you for this: As leaves of sorrow shadow our eyes, I will stroke your hand as light dims outside As joy lights your world and wreathes you in smiles, my arms will reach out across all the miles All presence has gone but I’ll still be here, as an essence of life that held you all dear This is the sweetest gift you could possibly give, now what can we give to you? I give you my hopes, my prayers and my dreams, but I don't feel it is enough... Love you always, Cat

Some friends posted this for me in response to "cold is the rain that can not speak": I now give to you, my Jayne-Chloe. Fate just needs an *i* to make it faith. I bow to your Faith. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1t94MMyUazc The Faith ~ Leonard Cohen The sea so deep and blind The sun, the wild regret The club, the wheel, the mind, O love, aren’t you tired yet? The club, the wheel, the mind O love, aren’t you tired yet? The blood, the soil, the faith These words you can’t forget Your vow, your holy place O love, aren’t you tired yet? The blood, the soil, the faith O love, aren’t you tired yet? A cross on every hill A star, a minaret So many graves to fill O love, aren’t you tired yet? So many graves to fill O love, aren’t you tired yet? The sea so deep and blind Where still the sun must set And time itself unwind O love, aren’t you tired yet? And time itself unwind O love, aren’t you tired yet?

At the fountain of love Raise a glass to faith I raise my glass to you dear Jayne for showing us all Love needs not to stare into your eyes Love needs not a physical touch Love is felt deep within Very few have shared as openly as you have Your words you share as an essense of you An essence of your love Within your poems you leave us a gentle touch A smile, a tear but mostly how to face our fear.
