Beyond fair reason I shall think of you In fallen grass or gently flowered field To have seen those fleeting times fade to blue Now distant thoughts that silently will yield A memory that trembles ever soft A hazy vision of a face once kissed I'm whisked to midnight skies and stars aloft This quiet afterglow now reminisced A shadowed door from candle light so still An empty chair a fading silhouette Forgotten time or love's unyielding will As flames to ashes, traces two who met A hand that brushed a cheek that love did know A kiss remembered from so long ago contest Premiere 1 12/22/16
