Poetry from Elly

"In memory of Elly" 

 

Love's Friendship Scroll 

 

 

Though you never knew it you were my healing balm

Each of you, spirits shared, pouring out endless love 

Silencing my storms, your grace bringing welcomed calm 

Friends so unique, like stardust sprinkled from above 

 

 

The many laughs and tears we've shed I held dear 

Your words carefully mine to cherish and weigh 

Always turning my bluest day to sunshine and cheer 

Your wisdom I have placed into my heart to forever stay

 

 

Think not I ever took one single moment for granted 

Tucked away eternally you are etched upon my soul

I was always listening, your seeds of kindness firmly planted 

And each of you reside there still, on love’s bright friendship scroll

A Jupiter Tear

 

I dreamed of you last night.

You were flying ever so high

Soaring in the cosmos light

On a voyage across the sky

I watched you travel high and low

Searching far above land and sea

Then I saw your hands aglow

As you flung a star back down at me

You sprinkled magic dust upon my raven hair

Brushed a single moonbeam across my waiting lips

Dropped a Jupiter tear to my bosom with great care

Gracing me with wonder of this your maiden trip

I dreamed of you last night

I walk this road with you 

A stony path

My feet dirty and bruised

With grit and resolve

To what will be

Your voice and eyes 
When you cannot see

Both your days of pain 
Nights of faintest laughter

Your grace and courage flow

evermore my soul to hold

Forever I will treasure
Unconditional, without measure
each long step we took

to this our fated destiny

You are now and always will be
The better part of me
