::cella:: The brightest star

Green shadows, cooling and soft,

Blocking from the harsh glare.

A world in dimness almost lost,

A hideaway most fair.

Lingering in sweet dreams,

And desires too long supressed.

Drifting on gentle streams,

Hidden from distress.

Yet, the eye longs to see,

Beyond the wrapped shadows,

To a world as it should be,

Not disguised in self-imposed values.

A forest green,

Soft upon the eye.

Yet an unchanging scene,

Where reality can hide.

Raise my eyes to the sky,

And feel the warmth of sun on my face.

My hurts and angers left to lie,

Resting quietly in this serene place.

Step from the green shadows

Into the honest clear day.

My victory over haunting battles,

Won on this day.

Sweet mystery of life,

A puzzle you are.

But even in a place of no strife,

This is for Angie, Fabian, little Javier and their family… with my deepest sympathy in this time of grief. with much love, ancella
