The Spirit I Wish To Be Time’s resplendent brush strokes line gentle twinkling hazel eyes, furrowed by miles of life-smiles. Cheeks aglow, she sits, hands folded within love’s perpetual memory lap. She sips life’s cup of serendipity, tastes vibrant rainbows, variegated hues captured in an effervescent myriad of life’s daily dews. Bathed by sweet amber candle light, she savors years of life-moments spent daily acknowledging life is a gift sublime, a line-by-line etching of poetic rhythm and rhyme. Such is the self-portrait I wish to see, the spirit I wish to be. |

a grand 'write'! [I am humbled once again by this most 'special' author!] How could one who writes so well… and so often with the truest ‘voice’ of Nature...(all the while ‘tasting’ those vibrant rainbows) possibly be anything but beautiful?!.. (amid such a 'life-gift' sublime etched in finest rhythm and rhyme)... a long-sustained 'standing ovation' for this poem!!

So were you in front of the mirror when you wrote this?  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, |
