I tread softly upon your legacy ~

"Can I show you what you are for me" ~Evanescence

I tread softly upon your legacy

angel of mine with broken wings,

traces left behind in soft whispers

the best of times gone awry,

when you whirl through my head

soaring on kaleidoscopic tranquility

wrapped in lavender zephyr sighs

dancing on clouds of ethereal hope

carefree and peaceful without worry

floating above lapis forbidden skies

like a effulgent butterfly haunting me

   in the darkly mindless hours of night

when the haze clears my conscious etchings

       you flutter amidst my words

exhaling ephemeral moments of poetry 

swirls of splendiferous opulence 

dreams beyond my comprehension,

I escape to heavenly dimensions 

 'drips of moonlight washing over me'

    lingering in this stately haven of intention

Frieda, you wrap us in lavender zephyr sighs and lapis forbidden skies allowing us to whirl with and within the chaos of fluttering butterflies emerging from the book of your sorrow and we may not know all that you feel inside, we want to stand by you inhaling and exhaling the moments of your poetry... Frieda this writing you do is excellent in its emotional depth as well as just plain out right beautiful, expressive artistry... loved the song and graphic... did you notice the blue one on the right, me singing your poem, sorry, you drew me in... ~~redzone

This is laced with the sadness and pain that you feel daily. It is something that will remain heavy in your heart forever. Sure, time may help eventually, but the heartache will remain. Sending hugs your way.....

Honoring someone's legacy is how we keep them alive in our hearts, it can be tricky, we must make sure we know them well enough to know what parts of them they would want carried on… from what I have seen your sister would be proud of how you carried on from her mind and heart.

[lee von cleef]

intention, to brush, to touch a breeze ,to wave the wand at her ruby slippers, to let the scare crow walk with you three arm and arm, if only in your dream. I pray.
