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
