she sits upon the icy shore
of winter’s frozen domain
fingers plucking sacred harp
voice singing sweet reframe
she softly plays love’s music
and only he knows her name
lonely have been the years
by choice, or divine design
he wandered in a wilderness
never hoping a song to find
then rose the lyrics of his soul
no longer lost somewhere in time
and though he could not tarry
he silently listened for a while
thinking he would give his life
just to see the fair lady smile
such was the power of her song
to enthrall, bewitch and beguile
she sang him into a state of rest
his feet so wounded and weary
but not as wounded as his heart
lost in bitter cold land so dreary
so by her fire he warmed himself
and was disposed to stay....nearly
and her song plays on and on
trailing him beyond dark seas
through shadows, over mountains
where wandering feet might please
sometimes he stops and listens
and fancies her face he sees
There is no mist that could hide her face from his eyes, and so, there is no shadow that either could hide her smile...the harp she was playing had strings made of lovely silences, to captivate him when telling him to stay...nearly.
Who knew the Wright's had a trunk full of hidden family secrets? Searching for treasure and hidden family secrets is one way to fuel the flames of passion.
I wrote this novel several years ago, I self published and never had it to sell. I have decided to rewrite it and hope to get it published within a few months for people to be able to buy. I had a few copies and gave them to a few family members and

Great write filled with much emotion, sensory and imagery.
Take care,

Fine matching of picture and words; the final stanza takes it all to another dimension.
