Lost... and Found

Poems written in an old notebook then lost… and found


Flood the moment with delicate beauty
  A vision shining as the sun through a diamond
   Recalls a thousand pictures.

  Felicia

  A child born different from us
   a girl, a daughter
    through magic you came to us
     one evening long ago.

  Now you have passed beyond us
   an angel on the wing
    remember us when you drink of life again and return

  Lest the sad ache remain forever with our missing you.

  - June 5, 1996


  An embrace
    Soft in the night
  Your touch
    Like mist on the wind
  So near
    Whispering just beyond understanding.

  - June 10, 1996


  Love lies there
      Silent and gentle
  Real and beyond reach
      Like a dream, gone with the dawn
  Leaving only memories, and heartache.

Alliteration

  Lazy laughter lingers long on the lake of life.
  Foolish friendships fly forever free.
  Secret smiles swim in the stream of a sunlight symphony, 
    pure as spring rain.
  Ready to sing again.
