Her voice does not come as often now, as it did back then. What once was heard loud and clear is now heard as distant whispers on the wind. She will not be silenced. The images have faded to dim, no longer are they sharp in my minds eye view. Her curves and colors have all changed with the progression of time, and I wonder, perchance would she still know me? She is, unforgettable. The way she wore her tranquility made me feel safe, secure and comfortable like a blanket of warmth on a cold winters night. I marveled at her beauty was in awe of her power, and grateful that she would welcome me home faithfully, every day. I drifted with time, and in time, moved on. Sometimes, when the sun warms the day and falls upon this pale of skin I can feel her spirit fill me I hear her in the breeze.... the mountain is calling me home. (something old that called to me today...) "In yearning for nothing, you will be free to enjoy what you do, free to see the patterns, free to hear the music in all things." -Barbara Ann Kipfer |

I fall back into the old days and feelings from time to time myself, G.S., although there are dark halls of my past that I fear to tread even in dreams or remembrances. I thoroughly enjoy this with its "I won't let you forget me" attitude . . . ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Ah, daughter....how good to see you drift back into the blue pages... something old, now new again, to new readers, and delighting us "old folk" once again.  |

The way she wore her tranquility made me feel safe, secure and comfortable like a blanket of warmth on a cold winters night. However far we wander, however soft the whisper - we hear the beckoning of such places. *S* What a gorgeous write!! |

Wow... this brought my day to an absolute stand still. When you write like this, how could she not recall you? Amazing in both imagery and content. Michael |

I read an article in the New York Magazine yesterday about an aging mother. This poem really touched me and I thought of that woman, that parent, that elder ~ and I hope she returns to such a place that she has loved. Alison |
