Forever February

All along the edge of night
she silent slips with ancient ways
with toss of head sends mauve to dark
this art work is the sky and more
belabor not the trust she has
that turn of hand can bring sun down

Come February now the time of mourn
she stops to ponder not warn or wasted
from so much night and day
how display the color of the way it feels
to leave beloved flying over hills to stay
forever along the mist that tears have made

She knows this space from every year
has come to feel the callus it has wept
and contemplate the ways to pull the paint
to make a backdrop compliment the grief
and some relief the beauty caught define
like sweet memory of sun in shine of hair

The time is near now she can feel the strain
though it remains eclipsed the brightness fades
then opens new a page of month of days
so turning now she sets the sun in clay to bend
forever February into love again

Sissie, now we have something to share, in a rare and unique way....

Mother passed in January, but will be celebrated in February. Now I have a common stone to touch with my sister.

This is beautiful and wonderful, in your very special heart of love. It fits more than you know, and knows more than your heart.

Keep this one aside, for that book you have promised me.

Alas mine arrived in the month yours departed. And yet some how the memories mingle partially shared in name and the rest shared in love both gained and lost and gained again. It is your words and faithfulness that I find strength and solice. Peace dear friend.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane,
I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.
