Time evaporated-
Near portal's mist-
Escaping fog-
Of hazy days kiss-
Honored revalations-
Keeper of the key-
Silent tolling bell-
Of never meant to be!
Designer set infatuated-
By talents mindful acts-
Grasping tight enchanment-
Supported with true facts!
Brillant cascade of colours-
Are cast upon the sand-
My Alibaster memories-
In your hour glass hand...
'Tis the Sound Of Silence-
That Golden Reverie-
That tint's our pale heart's-
Into a Deep Mahogany!

Dedicated to: My Best
Friend in Seattle
Areeva Crawford
She died of Sickle Cell Anemia
At 27

Theodora (Theo) Onken
