 Mary Cassat - Louise e sua figlia * Eyes locked * Tender little bundle of love cradled in my welcoming arms, what do you see behind your closed eyelids while navigating a world of your own? Are you visiting places you have been in the time beyond time, before you were born? Are you sitting with the Little Prince on his tiny planet listening to lessons of beauty while watching dazzling sunsets? Are the Angels whispering sweet secrets into your ears? Are they plucking the stars to let them shine in your heart? Are they dancing with you across a golden meadow into skies of blue? Will I ever know? Suddenly you come back from those far away shores, showing awareness of me, your eyes locked into mine. Sweet adorable little baby you take my breath away with the light you emanate and my heart misses a beat. For an eternal moment we gaze at each other and there is a flow of something so beautiful, something immeasurable, something sacred, between you and me. Essence of Love moves from soul to soul like a gentle breeze in an unforgettable touch of infinite sweetness. You have answered my questions, yes, and even though I can’t put this overwhelming truth into adequate words, nonetheless I know. Keep your eyes locked into mine, little Angel, and never stop to touch my heart with your magical song of love. * .... inspired by Simon, my first grandson. With love, Margherita  |

As I was reading your adoring words of love, I knew that you were writing about Simon. I felt every one of your mots divine. You masterfully wrote of the maternal mysteries and the infinite joys of a having a beloved babe in one's arms. A treasure of a poem to be tucked away for him to enjoy and appreciate when he grows up ~ which will come far too soon. Love to you and your precious grandson, Linda |

beauty does not sufficently describe the tenderness and great place children are...they are indeed such a credit to life... Upon gazing into my grandchild's eyes, cannot help but think, "OH Lord, please save her from knowing fear, at least for a little while longer" This was touching. |

Oh, what a tender moment... when those eyes lock, it's a toss up as to which world is truly being explored... |

This is certainly in my top 5 for most incredibly touching poem of the year. Without a doubt. A gem, for sure. |

Thank you from my heart, my dear poet friends for your loving sensitive replies! Those eyes are indeed a source of an overwhelming feeling of wonder. Love, Margherita  PS I have just discovered that "Eyes locked" is my 100th originating post. I am really surprised that I have written so many poems. I know there are some extremely prolific writers here and 100 seems quite modest in comparison, but I am happy for my own "record"....
