The Poetry of Elaine Fraser

(aka amaze1)

Lessons

 

The morning sings its wordless song

as I rise to its tune

Breathing in the cool sharp air

a new day wraps its arms around me.

 

Yesterday has folded its weary limbs

and now lays in endless slumber

Leaving me with its memories

to hold within my heart.

 

The silence rings loud in my ears

stirring thoughts of what is to come

If time could only take me back

to retrieve what has been lost.

 

Wisdom walks with me along the path I chose

teaching me I am the author of my life

I must take up my pen with Love as ink

and with a careful hand begin a chapter new.

These candles burn in memory of Christine - my niece, my sister, my best friend.  Rest in the arms of angels Chris, you will live in my heart forever.
