Filigree

Kind words
Gleam from the pages
Like jewels of ages
Passed down to me

They’re shining
Gold around the diamond
Filigree

A slow spell
Cast on the evening
By sunlight diving
Into the sea

A shimmer
Coming off the water
Leaps against the lee
Its glimmer
Ornaments the hour
Filigree

And you’re mine
Here along the shoreline
Pages stir the sand
A new wind blowing in
Let’s live while we can

Light slips away and you’re mine
Nightfall from day and you’re mine
Kind words conveying you’re mine
