floating
to the softest twilight
a thousand lanterns
across the sea . . .
if only I was strong enough
to hold you even closer
this half-moon
of a gentle angel
with psalms
to watch over us
***
in this evening cool
sketching your face
in the stars . . .
somehow I feel
we have met half-way
in this single breath
For Svetlana Marisova, RIP. ♥ You do not know how much your words touch and lift my heart. Thank you for your friendship and for everything you are. ♥ I'll miss you.
