Love Will Find A Way
in memory of Michelle

I thought to find peace
Drawn in colors of the end of fall
Where I weave this familiar curve of road
My eyes dropping over the vale into the shadows
Searching for something left behind
From the ashes that were your life

Still the pine and the oak hold true
As if it was only yesterday that you flew
Their weathered watch keeps
As I watch a leaf twirl before my vision
Catching the sun in reminder to look up

There
six white doves
Strain the blue sky with a sieve of white
Tuning their timing to my need
Your cheeks the color of roses
When you were six and wrote your words
In big stubby lopsided letters of love
Spelling Merry Christmas
With white paint on blue paper

Is there something that I could say
That would stop the movement of this day
That curves so quickly into winter
Something that would hold me for a minute
By the cradle where you taught me
How big my heart could be

My peace is pining in the afterglow of years
Bucketed between surges of mourning
Where I would have you true and still
My child of the earth

Until I see the white wings
Disappear over the ridge and away
And the leaf continues its path to the ground
In an obvious display of the answer

Love will find a way

Martie,
Yes...how true, love will find a way. This poignant write means so much more to me now. Bless your tender, ever broken, heart.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Martie~ As sure as you live, your little angel Michelle watches over you.

She still lives among the flowers and the trees
Sometime floating on a gentle breeze

this is sooooo beautiful...
your pen always finds a way, and I am so grateful that I am one of the lucky ones who get to read and feel your words.

Hugs, sweet friend

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

There are some times we wish could stand still - though our memories are ours forever. They stay alive in our hearts... This is a lovely holiday remembrance, Martie... Merry Christmas, my friend...

Martie, I am so touched by this, that my words here can't grasp the feeling. But I also believe that love will find a way...if there is love in our very human hearts, then the answers will come to us. I hope that your holidays are beautiful and peaceful, as befits a lady of your grace. ~~S~~

Pen how you truly feel...
it is a safety-valve for the soul!

Martie - what a treasure you give us with this very special poem - I felt your heart touch with Michelle and a rush of warmth came over me as I treasured the place you took us to visit you and Michelle at one of your very special meetings. SO very special - Paul
