\n.your shining almond eyes
\nconsumed every peach in the orchard
\nwithout ever bending a bough
\n 
\neverything you’d ever need
\nfell gently into your hands
\ncurled contented at your feet
\nlingered long within your heart
\n 
\nsunrise caught you wide awake and dreaming
\nmoonlight streamed through your fingers
\ncreating beauty from an empty page
\n 
\nwarm currents surrounded you
\nsummoning your seductive smile
\nwind and water reaching
\n 
\nfor your inevitable shores
\nyou were your own planet
\ndiscovering unknown galaxies
\nwe were your satellites
\n 
\ndrifting in apogee
\ntossing starseeds at us
\nyou’d laugh
\na solemn memory still resonant
\nwithin this wilderness
\n 
\nboldly echoing throughout day’s eternity
\nmurmuring deep inside this infinity of night
\n 
\na delightful song in the making
\na brilliant story still waiting to be told
\n

\nEditor’s Note Nicole Hanna, Darcy’s friend since high school (23 years), developed a website for Darcy’s poems, short stories and novels – here is the link for it: http:\/\/www.e-darcytrie.com\/

\nIn the words of Wanda lea Brayton: Again, thank you for your request and thank you for wanting to pay tribute to one of the finest poetic minds I’ve encountered in my 57 years on this planet. I could always count on Darcy (onerios13) to provide me with inspiration and enlightenment. I’ve known her since 2004 and she became a very dear friend of mine; she is deeply missed by many others, as well. I believe we’ll be seeing each other again one fine day and will recognize ourselves as kindred spirits, just as we did in this lifetime. I have also started a list to add poems written for her by others and contests held in tribute for her; here’s the link for it, if you’re interested. I’m adding to it as I find them.<\/em> http:\/\/allpoetry.com\/list\/588544-Darcys_Genius_-_In_Memory_of_onerios13<\/a>
