Like a Poem

~ a collaboration by Trace and MsJewel ~

 What you were looking for, and what you found in me, and what you see, is just the sun at dawn...Reinfried Marass

 

 

                

 

                    She is eternal youth

                rising with the sun…at dawn

                fresh as the morning light...

 

                Innocently floating upon the linen clouds

                towards a destination once unknown

                now captured in the moment of her being

 

                Like a poem

                written in satin scented script

                flowing with the love of whispers on the wind,

                      she is a melody,

                                          not to be held

                            but seized for an instant

                in the shadows of a recollection once forgotten

                           yet, never growing old

 

                She is eternal youth

                                        caught only in a memory

Ah, for me, this is the way we see ourselves. We are still in high school....aren't we? We are still 18 and we are still ready for anything.....unfortunately not true, but the way we see ourselves sometimes. Of course, I have a feeling this could be about your daughter. In any case, this is well written and the imagery is lovely. I liked the change in margins. Lydi**

dear Julie and Trace... the memory of youth
is the halo we wear as we gather flowers in the
morning light... The dance of love will leave us
breathless as we swing and twirl into the music
of forever spring... Your poetry blends like the
sun setting across the ocean in shades of blushing
Roses... truly, Pat

Tis the sort of poem a reader wants to touch, just to see if the magic will rub off - even a little. This is a beautiful collaboration that proves the past really IS etched in the forever because of ... love.
