We kept it light You and I Wrapped friendship around moments Of lavender and tea roses Treasures unearthed in lazy afternoons Morel s and the damp lull of pines wafting through An open window Trading simple things You were light Filtered through antique lace curtains Thoughts of you melt sweet Chocolate chips held tight in small hands Smiling for the moment Until the residue is wiped clean You are gone But never forgotten I will see you in sunsets and surf And the way the rain falls steady In late spring When the light is soft behind the clouds You never shied from the rumbling storm When I raged and railed against the breaker walls You were the calm You held the tide Even when the deluge started to take you I could sense it in the pull of deeper moments You said we’re all on a journey And you left your legacy etched in my soul Open the window a little wider And embrace the sky I will think of you always And treasures And the sea Conch shells and mermaids Surf against the sand I will keep the light March 2013 For Pat Brodniak-Carbonaro “ Seanymph”

Keep the Light - For Seanymph
We kept it light You and I Wrapped friendship around moments Of lavender and tea roses Treasures unearthed in lazy afternoons Morel s and the damp lull of pines wafting through An open window Trading simple things You were light Filtered through antique lace curtains Thoughts of you melt sweet Chocolate chips held tight in small hands Smiling for the moment Until the residue is wiped clean You are gone But never forgotten I will see you in sunsets and surf And the way the rain falls steady In late spring When the light is soft behind the clouds You never shied from the rumbling storm When I raged and railed against the breaker walls You were the calm You held the tide Even when the deluge started to take you I could sense it in the pull of deeper moments You said we’re all on a journey And you left your legacy etched in my soul Open the window a little wider And embrace the sky I will think of you always And treasures And the sea Conch shells and mermaids Surf against the sand I will keep the light March 2013 For Pat Brodniak-Carbonaro “ Seanymph”
