          memory

  
                  even
sadness is
                   blessing

  a baby’s-breath
                   of frost
   around
                 your rose

     and...

              ...endless

Memories kind of weave around me tonight - and I feel this poem.

Not only a memory,
but a sense,
and a reminder...

of so much.

Beautiful.

I'm stuck in this memory...
This soft moment embraces me.

Ed...So much feeling and meaning within these few words...the image of the rose in frost caused me to remember the song, The Rose.   Given time, I've found that even a sad memory becomes defused by the light of change and growth.

Okay... *G* I lost my serious thought when I read your critique line. LOL

Memories are indeed a blessing... one of my greatest fears is that someday, my mind will betray me... and I'll lose all those moments that made life worthwhile.

Beautiful work!!
