Sheltered

Sheltered in the angel arbor
A tender pool of tears
Wept because I'm missing you
As months stretch into years

The ripples of the newly shed
Distort sometimes the view
But When the calm and peace return
Again I gaze on you

With your eyes reflecting back
My soul soon find it's way
To hold fast to your harmony
And dance with you each day

So deep within your angel arbor
Sweet paths again we walk
Touching deep the inner soul
Sweet memories will talk

I steal once more a breath of rest
and once more through my day
Your angel presence lights my path
And guides me on my way

Fragile Butterfly

You thought I didn't notice
You thought I didn't know
Your thoughts were on your leaving
You picked your time to go

I knew your body's struggle
You did not feel your best
When your mind had joined the fray
You wanted to find rest

I knew that you were leaving
I wanted you to stay
To hold you close inside my arms
And love for one more day

The angel of my lifetime
A safe home for my heart
Though your body's gone to rest
We never walk apart

Side by side we face the world
Hand in hand we fly
Your angel wings holding me close
A fragile butterfly

Until I hold you

Tender the heart that adores you
Fragile as butterfly wings
Each moment that we were together
My quiet heart learned how to sing

I sing now a song full of longing
I sing now a song full of love
My soul's home deep inside of your heart
Sings now with the angels above

For when you departed the planet
A part of your spirit remains
And part of my heart left with you
Until I can hold you again

So walk with me now in the sunshine
Hold me in the dawn's early dew
Sing to me sweetly, pure angel voice
Each breath I am taking with you

Leave it open

Please leave the vatic book open
Hide not from the word from above
The journey will walk you through madness
But you are surrounded with love

Your heart is the fertile ground now
Where seeds from a teacher may grow
Rise up from the narrow sand ribbon
For a lofty perch new wings will show

Some think you a seer or madman
Dim are their words in your heart
Walking with truth holds closely our souls
Though ephemeral bodies apart

So please leave the vatic book open
Lean your ears to the angel choirs song
Truth and love are the keys to open the door
Grace and harmony guide us along

Leave it open, II

Please leave the vatic book open
Narrow path full of flowers that grow
The journey of life, a walk your soul
A seer because of love's glow

Walk gently in the teachers footsteps
Dance lightly in love's harmony
Find grace in the word lightly spoken
My angel is walking with me

Lofty the ground that you gaze on
Distance does not dim your heart
Narrow the path but beautiful still
I walk on while we are apart

So please leave the vatic book open
My heart always drinks deep the word
Of sweet angel whispers alive as the wind
And with inner ears can be heard

A Cross Stitch Anacrostic

All of the colors and their blended hue

Connected x's between me and you
Rivelets of tears may dampen my sighes
Or hope brings a smile when I think of your eyes
Stitches connect the love in our hearts
Span across distance that keeps us apart

Sewing my soul with every thread
Tender and fragile for part of me's dead
In every moment I spend with pur love
Thankful the time before you went above
Cherish the moments of pure angel kiss
Heaven now cherish the man that I miss

A poem of cross stitch and love's tender grace
Needling x's in the fabric of space
An angel whispers, angel wings guide
Close by my heart you will always abide
Roamed this land over I know deep and true
Only found home when I was with you
So my home I care for and fill it with love
Till my time is over and I'm called above
I know that my heart is yours till the end
Cherished and honored my souls truest friend
