Love’s Mantle

Echoes live on

~ Mantle of Love ~

As subtle as a wispy cloud
the visions come to me
breathing softly on my heart
in dreams of memory

Moments long now disappeared
float as a mystery to cheer
to bring a smile, recall the touch
of the love we held so dear

Soft as geranium’s blossom
warm as a tender hug
the mantle of a long love lost
can soothe a soul forever
