By The Days

By the days you have struck a match,

a steady flame of ink and quill

to shine against the night and its darkness,

cast your creative sun across the sky

unto every reader’s eye.

 

Two years of flowing eloquence

twenty four months of stanza silver,

one hundred and four weeks

of poetic rose petals

gracing with the elegance

within the beauty of AP’s garden.

 

We celebrate your blessings to us all,

the countless treasures you have shared,

all the joy you brought through your presence.

 

The times you touched

those moments you captured the stars,

each line you cause the world to pause its spinning,

long enough for us to gaze

at the diamonds of your artistry

and cherish their facets as priceless.

 

Author notes

Many congratulations on your two year anniversary

    Luscious imagery

    'diamonds of your atistry' gazed I
    at the 'facets' of these 'priceless' 'treasures',
    glinting at every turn
    A wonderful tribute blessed indeed s such luscious imagery
