    Dear sweet Linda,

    I am sitting in the airport waiting on my flight to Ukrain for Doctors Without Borders reading a journal that dad wrote in as he travelled all around the country and I found something that I would like to share with you

    " On FS I have met a wonderful caring friend in Christ, I feel we will become good friends as time goes by. The lord led me through this poem from chatting with her. I feel it not appropriate at this time to give it to her, maybe one day perhaps " those are his exact words and I feel the time is right to share with you what he wrote. I hope that you find it just as beautiful as I did.

    Moonlight ballet

    Touching the spark
    of a burning flame
    she would feel
    No pain
    in a world of
    complete havoc
    around her
    in the darkness
    she would unravel
    And scream into
    nothingness
    numb she once
    was
    sleepless she
    has been

    After midnight
    when our
    worlds would
    become two
    and the clouds
    were still
    she would dance
    Adagio in the
    cool frost of the
    moonlight
    with a pale
    expressionist frown
    of the pale
    dim light

    In the darkness
    she unraveled
    her soft gracious
    ballet dance
    screaming into
    nothingness
    nobody heard
    her or saw the
    gracious nighttime
    performance

    Her silo wet
    reached among
    The bare damp
    ground
    her tears fell
    into a small
    pool that
    sparkles under
    the starlight

    Her pale expressionist
    face with no
    audio tone
    from pink faded
    lips

    numb she was
    sleepless she
    has been
    her days awake
    spent in the dew
    of darkness
    tapped in two
    worlds that awoke
    after midnight
    dancing Adagio
    trying to find
    her way

    As the night
    became day
    she would
    slowly fade
    away
    as a deafening
    scream echoed
    into the empty
    air

    But no one heard
    her
    No one saw
    her sublime
    performance
    numb she had
    become
    with her
    pool of tears
    sparkling in
    the after
    life
    In one single
    red loving
    rose
    screaming where
    she danced from
    The depths
    of her
    soul

    August

    I do hope that you don?t mind me sharing what I found in his journal
    Take care sweetie
    Blessings
    Love
    Amber -

    l.raven: Michael...

    a heart held true as a child's first breath

    rebuking hate

    holding only honored

    vows

    I do

    knowing God stands before him

    craving love of a perfect woman

    seen only in his eyes

    quiet spoken

    words whispered

    midnight

    laughs that make you smile

    so cute

    soft said

    Michael, Michael

    "yea"

    question??

    of course

    gentle soul

    loving touch

    hands explore

    sweet satisfaction

    comforted in scent of safety

    wrapped in warmth of early morning sun

    held in the arms of love...

    Michael
