Burning Away Shaddows

The light within you has illuminated a heart long ago fallen dark  
Burned away the shadows with glowing red embers and your fiery spark  
So as Winter creeps closer with cutting icicles to chill your aching bones  
Let me silence their nervous chattering and your ghostly-Hallow moans  
I can hardly express how blessed and happy I am to be your friend  
An honor I don't take lightly and one I will cherish until the very end  
An end that will not be made with choices spoken on these Earthly planes  
But may be erased only when there is no more space for growing pains  
For life's lessons do not cease no matter how many years we count our age  
There's always room for the muse to fill with poetry on the unwritten final page
