Through thick and thin pillows of empyreal clouds
syllables swerved~
formed sentences in celebration, Light communion
of flesh and blood in Sacred chalice to inebriate
those who have come as one with tidings of Love
for you on the fifth of May. [almost here]
We Journeyed, joined hands from all directions.
Set differences aside, acknowledged in agreement
without doubt that you have touched our Hearts.
Some brought offerings in form of frame to *tag* on
AP's wall while others opened their Hearts for you
to see its beauty and comedians brought
Circus entertainment to evoke laughter from gut.
Imagination raised the rooftops, erected possibilities
considered limitless.
The Divine came in Dreams and spoke of Dreamer
such as yourself who yearned to reach the stars.
These flashes of Light, precious young Life~
Celestial children, several orphaned sent down
after they waited in line for years
with Gifts for you to unwrap on this special day.
Wishes made, momentum built up with force sent
by Deity fueled from Determination within you
to cling onto cliff's edge and allow canyon winds
authorization to escort, ruffle feathers for flight.
Countless times you have taken to the skies~
when a Friend faced
dire consequences, prayed for companionship
at the edge of a similar cliff.
(His or Her) Wings unable to circulate winds, feathers
stripped to the bone from sources seen, some unseen.
Voice beckoned for Blessing, you still persevered;
granted them solitude, serenity of Soul.
You arrived, on the fifth of May into a world writhed
with positive also negative but your presence brought
an elixir of Enthusiasm that not all is lost.
During travels, a trusted confidante and companion
crossed your path who brought words of Wisdom
that would compliment what was written in scrolls.
Be in tangent with verses you voiced.
James joined in Journey, held tightly your hand~
entwined your essence with his, Hearts beat in sync.
Spirit serenaded in song, a Lover's lullaby.
I carry my package of Paradise wrapped, wait in line
alongside the others to offer a 'Peace' of me.
Hear the tiny stars giggle, talk of their fall
from the Heavens and witness them shine
their Sacred Light in your honor.
Happy Birthday Jeannie~ Thank You James.
Twin flames of Friendship treasured, always.
