February 21, Every Year Today you emerged from hibernation. I felt you tapping the shoulder of my memory. Look, you said, I am swept under the heartbeat of memory, sleeping, covered by hours then by days finally by years until my laughter fades from memory and the sound of my voice is lost. I am only noticed when February cuts into your heart or in my picture one sided and posed. You look for me across the mountain top as if my ashes are what seed the ground and I can feel the pilgrimage of your feet upon my soul. Your heart beat is me and the ache in womb the full blue vained breast of remembering is where you can find me and I will always be there trust your tears. ----------- Reposted every year in loving memory of Michelle |

I am only noticed when February cuts into your heart or in my picture one sided and posed. I've read this beautiful tribute many times now... and the heartbreak of it never lessens. But... however much February cuts a mother's loving heart into shreds... it doesn't own her... or you. She's with you... and with all of us who know her through your words... Love stays... each time you smile for no particular reason... every time you breathe in the beauty of the day... each time a star seems to twinkle just for you... every time the breeze blows your hair and leaves fresh in your lungs... all through the year. |

Martie,Today is a day we share. I thought of you this morning remembering how you always were sad on this day. Today for me is the anniversary of my marriage. Hope today was a good day full of memories, good and bad. I always enjoy this poem of Michelle. God bless. Gina |

I am swept under the heartbeat of memory, and from those memories and your love comes some of the most beautiful and touching poetry I've ever read. one drop, an ocean ... one seed, the forest ... one leaf, the wind ... |

Martie, Separated by two days and many years are our Michelles yet bonded are you and I in memories, heartache and loss. But united in hope and wisdom. How you bless my aching heart. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
