She of noble character who can find?

Still too tired and crazy and insane to work on my story. Here's some poetic stuff instead. Enjoy.


For Annii

I watch as you squint your eyes
Cold and blue, water in a wishing well
They catch the light and crinkle as you smile
In every way you're beautiful
And I'm thanking God for you

~*~

For Malia

Diamond heart
Your voice is stretched with the sorrows of this world
Little years and great tribulation
Your word is a token given out to any pair of ears
But your heart is a diamond
Given only to him who truly hears

~*~

For Mariah

Freckles and dimples and that sweet sunny smile
You're all innocence and resonance
And every word reflects that heart of gold
The silver shimmer in your eyes its gleaming
Starry and bright
You're a daughter of the Light

~*~

For Rachel

Humility and graceful light
You're the essence of love, of joy pure and kind
Your heart hides deep, out of sight
But your words echo always
The haven in the sky
Where your treasure lies

~*~

For Her Who Waits Above

I remember your joyful laugh
And the way you said my name
In that February Nightmare
I saw the truth of fleeting life
The time is short
So I'll play my violin and fall with a fearless heart
I will see you again
This is not where it ends
I'll remember your words and your spirit and all the times you must have laughed on that day
That February Nightmare
