Though time alone
won't heal the wounds,
as days go by its
piercing pain will fade
like the passing moon.
In hollowed nights of
sudden grief, your heart
will cry in sweet relief.
Memories true will sparkle
like the stars,
their passions filled
with internal scars.
Treasures prove in golden sun,
more precious, there can be none.
Two cherished soul's
that fuse as one,
their spirits in flight
on hills they run.
Reflections of the hearts delight,
attend to psalms that fill the night.
Until you and they merge as one,
in heavens arms, when work is done.
Author notes
This poem is a dedication to the memory

I saw this as precious jewels...lovely words. Well written. Blessings.

The reference to the moon was very Shakespeare-esque in the fact that you drew out the passing, the changes(i.e. "Do not pledge by the moon, the inconstant moon...) Many cyclical metaphors work, but that one you wrote fantastically.
Also the use of heaven as a respite was very emphatic.
All in all, lovely work. -
This poem exudes immense power and strength of Faith. The flow is absolutely in sync with the beautiful absolutely stunning imagery.
By far one of the best I've read this month!

Thank you for your beautiful dedicative words! I saw only one thing...in the 5th set of lines.. "...their can be none" should be written as "there can be none". Other than that...great write!
