Her Crowning Glory~

She sits on the old tree stump,
blue gray eyes crinkle content
at the sight of her little acre,
brushes her long white hair
in the sunlight,
strands of reflection,
years of living and loving,
each stroke
a touch from a long buried lover,
or a husband, sitting on the porch
admiring her tresses
as seasons came and went,
leaving her a mane of snow,
and the wind rocking his chair.

Twisted bun
loose to the bright morning,
as she closes eyes to
freckled memory smiles,
to the way-back days..
a young girl humming
in the garden-glow,
dark locks flowing free
amid turnips and carrots.

You paint beautifully the "strands of reflection." The contentment flows clean off the page with this one.
