An ocean whirls inside of her: it waves from the beach where we used to swim in big surf. I learned not to touch sand, but to trust her hand and the sea as guides. Her face mirrors time; an earthly mirage swept away by springtime-jade eyes. Her gift is caring, even now, as old friends become new children. The coastal morning fog finds her strolling dewy greens with other ladies of repose. Sun weathered legs are strong above ankle-length socks. Spotted hands hold silver wands aloft. On a cliff top, she grows things squirrels won’t eat: tomatoes, flowers, strong herbs. It’s the birds she loves. In the background, a circle of chalky coral slowly grays. © 2003 Core [This message has been edited by Corinne (09-17-2003 05:00 PM).] |

Her face mirrors time; an earthly mirage swept away by springtime-jade eyes. Her gift is caring, I think you share that gift... for this vivid portrait is filled with caring and compassion... Excellent! |
