Gossamer Dreams

Gossamer Dreams

Far be it far from me to tug at the strings of eternity,

To seek to return those who now experience serenity.

But it’s my heart that now beats for them I say,

And remembers the moments of each passing day.

Let it not be that torn soul within me that I feel,

That slumbers tearfully, hiding away broken and still.

But if it is to be this song of my weariness that I hear,

I pray it release me from this present state using destiny’s spear.

Through deep puddles of memories I continue to wade,

From morning’s light till night’s death they fade.

Of times that held me in love’s bonds and glory,

And whispers’ blankets warm me with their story.

Oh, that my soul’s song could upon their ears fall,

With melodious tones of life’s sorrows in thrall.

Angelic voices sing, laud them who’ve passed ‘ore,

Oh, sing of life's bounty that resurrection restored.

On feathery gossamer wings I take flight,

As evening’s light sleep deeply at night.

To see and hear and experience once more,

The love of those who wait for me on that shore.
