Beauty

There is beauty
in every face
a twinkle
a glow
arch of lid
breath of flower

and to trace
line and form
is no miracle to
sleight of hand
but the heart light
that grows and cascades
from within

in memory of my mother Marian

So softly beautiful Martie.  To have been able to know a mothers smile is something so many take for granted, so I cherish the few pictures that I have and search for the lady behind the smile I see.  
This touched me Martie.  Thank you for making a wonderful morning thought for me.

Martie, this is very beautiful.   *hugs*

The stars will shine when I am gone,
the earth will turn on as before,
the gulls, still race along the shore,
the morning star, still kiss the dawn

those black and white photos always make me well up inside, especially when I think about my mom who died in 1980. Thanks for sharing Martie.

Hello again sweet Martie.  This is lovely, as all your poems are.  I have missed reading them. Your words here are so very true and sweet for me as I nearly lost my mom recently, and I could have written the same-------but not nearly as well.
