from the ABC set Poems

Two bright stars lost within the land of dreaming;
they will not shine again till you awake.
A pretty rose that bursts with laughter gleaming
will stay a rosebud until next you speak.
Across your face, the wild and tangled sunlight;
the radiance you’ll straighten with a comb.
Your heartbeat and your breath, two wings of white;
the sweet sound of an angel flying home.

Thanks Parson.

Not lucky enough to have a lucky person, I'm afraid. Not at the moment, anyway.

Glad you enjoyed it.

Lovely poem, I love this bit...

'Across your face, the wild and tangled sunlight;
the radiance you’ll straighten with a comb.'

...especially.
