Makemie Woods, May 14

Happy birthday, my love. Hope you enjoy the music.


Out of conscious thought,
Wrapped in gossamer light
Wrapped in blue velvet and silk
Gently your memory rests
In a quiet corner of my heart.

You may not want to be there.
I left so long ago --
We let the silence build and now
 No moments left for words unsaid.

So – my choice:
Out of conscious thought,
Wrapped in gossamer light
Wrapped in blue velvet and silk
Gently your memory rests
In a quiet corner of my heart.
