There are few words
that can capture my feelings towards Faye. A couple
nights ago I was outside stargazing and a bunch of thoughts
snowballed in my head. The following is what ended up
on paper; I think it captures my feelings as best I
can. :)
For
Faye
Just like a grain of sand never masked by time
You weave into my life like the perfect moon.
Sometimes waning, sometimes waxing
Sometimes a sliver, sometimes full --
You remain a constant, you’re always there.
As I breathe in this summer night
Streaked with stars of dusty chalk
It baffles me to think we share the same sky;
Two perfect strangers
Entwined through natural wonders
The magick of the universe
Gloriously scatters through my dreams.
And it is in these dreams
Where you make a rare appearance
To dance a little dance, to see I’m doing fine.
I thank you for your presence
The silent words of encouragement,
I thank your for your guidance,
Reminding me I can be more.
So many years have passed
Since you’ve come into my life
For I’ve gone from a little girl
To a woman with wings.
Though I’m still learning to fly,
You make the transition easier
For your wings have guided mine many times.
My feet feel heavy on the earth,
As I look back to the sky
My eyes darting back and forth
Until I see the brightest star.
The sand runs through my fingers,
Both cool and warm with feeling;
The tiniest grains of sand never masked by time.

Thanks, Faye...for
your continuous guidance and encouragement. Thanks to
everyone who's come this far and looked at this website
with more than a passing glance. I appreciate it! Please
come back again soon. :)
UPDATE JULY 2008: It truly amazes
me that seven years have passed since I wrote the above
poem. I wasn't going to include it on the new site,
but as I re-read my own words, I realized just true
those words remain. I don't think time plays a role
in my respect and dedication towards Faye; if anything,
time only makes me respect her more.
Faye, I will always be in your
corner, rooting for you from afar. Never forget the
actress inside of you. Touch your dreams. Fly.
