Face

----to be read twice

In the deepest winter night of the darkest corner,

Right under the dimming shattered post lamp,

Your emerging face lit up my lonely street

Where I had long been kept waiting

Till the last star fell into sound sleep.

Then, you came in no haste,

Like a delicate moon,

Shimmering,

Lulled me

Forever,

Into,

Awe.

This poem is heartly written by me for all those that ever trusted and helped me in the past memorable days.

You are the stars over my head

---on Christmas Eve

Stars you are over my head

Creatures without shadow or shade

Twinkling, twinkling,

Tears of a smiling maid

The heavenly palace wherein you reside

Ten thousand candle lights are found

Where else darkness is patched

And the missing moon once shined

Tonight by passion I am ruled

Wandering alone with a heart no longer sealed

The million unknowable distances

By million kings myth and wisdom guided

Feathers can carry me no farther on wind

For the earthly beings see only a bounded world

Ask not why keep an eye, quite and humble, since

You are the stars over my head.

I dedicate this poem to my dearest "friend" Jeannie. Hope her caring presence will make our forum shine brightly with words again!
