I wish to embrace, my children's faces, with these eyes, burning into memory, their joyous smiles, before the fading light, is finally extinguished, the dancing stars, which are their own eyes, remembered, held closely, envisioned, but for the betrayal, of time, giving way to darkness, and shrouds, shadows they become, but for the light of imagination, and memories, unforgettable images, be still, this disquieted soul, allow the beautiful to extend, words are as worlds, a new place from which soulful expression, is easily rendered, imparting magnificence, to beckoning followers, and newly found friends.

I wish to embrace, my children's faces, with these eyes, burning into memory, their joyous smiles, before the fading light, is finally extinguished, the dancing stars, which are their own eyes, remembered, held closely, envisioned, but for the betrayal, of time, giving way to darkness, and shrouds, shadows they become, but for the light of imagination, and memories, unforgettable images, be still, this disquieted soul, allow the beautiful to extend, words are as worlds, a new place from which soulful expression, is easily rendered, imparting magnificence, to beckoning followers, and newly found friends.
For my mid-western friend, H.L.D. The heroic epic poet.
