        Passage of My Mind

She was Chelsea and old lace
grace of hand like dancer once,
her music moved like variegated eyes
until it was part of true
that danced in meadow’s mind
each time new.

Curls dampened around her neck
like a finger had twirled them with great care,
placed with whispered love
and just the right touch of neglect
as if it mattered not,
the effect.

She dusted the passage of my mind
with a smile that came from spirit place,
then fastened her self to never forget
and moved away but left a trace
like reflected sun on branch of tree,
I wonder what just happened
to me.

Oh what a lovely moment, Martie...
beautifully preserved by your pen.

A vision of a parallel world? A kindred spirit? Not a haunting but a fanciful write. Enjoyed.

Richard--that's it!  Thank you.  So glad you enjoyed!

Sy--I know you have.

Virginia--What a wonderful word!

Toe--I know what happened to you...you got a case of sense of humor.  I'm glad too!

Mixing a little RHYME these days in your works are we?  You know I love it.  Something about this piece just holds and innocense to it, sort of like when a child is deep in thought for a brief moment, then snaps out of it and moves on.  Lovely verse as I have come to expect and you know cherish with full heart.  Beautiful should cover it I hope.

emotionally invocative
and mirroringly real
when both halves of self
are forced, finally,
to face each other

Talented writing, Martie!
Yeppers!
