Melodia Celeste

In soft glowing moonbeams our spirits dance
I feel you watch me from a higher place
Closing my eye lids into a deep trance
Feel your sweet gentle spirit touch my face

How kind and gentle a heart always true
Blue eyes will glow and flaxen hair will wave
What centuries of time love ne'er knew
Will ever be held fast inside a grave

So when a wind gently caress my cheeks
I feel your spirit tender touch my lips
So precious is a loss a love still seeks
Not measured in a cup that always drips

A name on stone says simply Calista
Old tune playing 'melodia celeste'

Hi Yankee

This brings to mind images of Orpheus charming the Olympian Gods themselves with his tuneful lyre... Blissful!

PS
In Greek myth, Homer always referred to Orpheus and his tuneful lyre... wine wine
