There they are

Each
Of course
In her own way
Beautiful

Their gazes fill the air
With a special kind of alchemy
That is not there before

One does not enter the room
And not feel he has left behind
The world he knew outside the door

And found within
That lambent sense of Elysium
The ancients wished for
In their prayers

And when in time
His own end has come
Perhaps such awe
Will know reward

Where those dreams
Again becoming— gentle guides
Shyly take him home

Thank you Helen.

Mine, each as a separate painted portrait,
reside together on my office wall.
I am very fortunate to be in their care.


Thanks again,

John

----I am so fortunate to post after you told the graces of your poem. I thought it was the picture of the three graces plus you. I felt so lucky that I did not post my response soon otherwise  I surly will get a goof laugh from you. a very loud good laugh from you.


"Where those dreams
Again becoming— gentle guides
Shyly take him home" love this S. beautiful.

--Four Graces

the sinewy hand of mountain
waves to the green memory of spring
the winter's first warm smile
blooms a butterfly in sleeping
