Sea pearls in my frail hands Strawberry gold in my glass coffin Champagne with still sparkle A sweet love will exist Obscure graffiti will continue to paint firefly nights My stained glass eyes would soon be forgotten Neon ghosts would speak out loud Wild flowers and moon shadows Frosty nights, sugar wildflower carnivals with still have rides Magnolias will shimmer with pride Some may bleed and go slowly Watercolors of purple ice will waltz with the honey flies The winds will bellow with urgency Draw the curtains of the dark hued winds A dusk house of earths yarn Hanging on by fingertips does not slow the ***** The fog straggles will push and pull Our stories will remain on the walls Its not the years its what is left behind Where all so much more than we know When that strength begins to fog Crackling flowers will adequately grow Earth will yawn with a calling to come home So many secrets we are frankly to tired to spill At times the sweetness and zest is excused Forest rose shells await A true beauty of life is found Death does not strip away your spirit Honey dew smells invade your nose Star filled nights may feel like stones in your throat I see slices of you in the pane of my own essence I will shield you as you retreat into the dimness
