Hello February Welcome to my life this day is blue and I have known a love or two since last we met and snow lays grounded in small patches tease the dappled light in me for that is pleased Don’t try to trip me into falling I am most sure and filled with light even in the night I dream of lavender wings and in the sad reminder of the rain that keeps the mountain from me this time I have made a step forward in my recovery from blaming you for the pain of loss when all along it was a body caught in ill repair that paid the final cost She paid long ago and I've mourned to show my love again and again I’ve looked to you my month of tragedy to blame and try explain the way it goes how life is cycled but for loss there is no remedy you told me that with your down sky one year now I hear How about this we let February be glad now don’t argue that you are bad I myself will lift the sad and let you see new flow within my streams to loosen the ache from all my February dreams Not because I have forgotten Michelle but because I choose to remember her all the time ----- In loving memory of Michelle |

No words to say Martie. We all pass and maybe we spring again but in minds we never passed, we just rested. Dave |

How about this we let February be glad now don’t argue that you are bad I myself will lift the sad and let you see new flow within my streams to loosen the ache from all my February dreams Not because I have forgotten Michelle but because I choose to remember her all the time ----- In loving memory of Michelle ~*~ We have a friend here who must see this... just to know she is not alone, ever... love you for this strength, honey... |

In so many ways, this may be your most beautiful Michelle poem... I myself will lift the sad and let you see new flow within my streams to loosen the ache from all my February dreams Not because I have forgotten Michelle but because I choose to remember her all the time Amen, lady... amen. *S* I'm betting she's dancing in delight. *S* |

I love the spirit behind this, a happiness within that won't let itself be pushed aside. Rejoice in the ones you love whether they're here with you or not....I like that very much! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

" .... a melancholy light across the bay .... like a woman, revolving through a memory ..." Your poem made me think of those words, Martie. I know your words bring a smile. Take care. Bob |

Simply lovely, Martie. The first step is always the hardest but you've already come a long way since then, I know. Yes, Hello February! May your positive outlook extend throughout the year. |

A gripping struggle with grief of the worst kind. Strength can't always be measured by metallurgists or cannonades, sometimes it's as close as the butterfly or the heart. I appreciate being witness to this healing beauty and the denial of an unkind anniversary. Poets against the war is redundant |

Martie, How I love your loyalty. Thank you for sharing this. My Ginger Michelle was born in February, you may recall. It is hard for me to comprehend your loss as I got twenty years more than you. But it is simple for me to understand your remembering everyday. I've been lectured about a mother's loss and cannot imagine it any greater than my own. But I draw strength in the remembering as do you. And especially I can draw strength from you. Bless you kind lady, ever so much. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

You would not know - but this is a gift to me - your thoughts of letting go the pain of this month - for it is such a sad anniversary for me as well - of loss that still aches terribly - a valentines day that will always be the anniversary of my mother's passing- a most difficult passing - but you are right - February should be happy again - Hugs - Susan If I wander far enough, long enough, will I finally know . . . |

and I've mourned to show my love again and again I’ve looked to you my month of tragedy to blame and try explain the way it goes how life is cycled but for loss there is no remedy you told me that with your down sky one year now I hear How about this we let February be glad now don’t argue that you are bad I myself will lift the sad and let you see new flow within my streams to loosen the ache from all my February dreams ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ the healing process is constant...and I've learned it cycles and evolves...this poem speaks of circles unbroken and promises kept... of healing on a higher level as understanding comes with self discovery... heart-hugs to you dear one. Among the kingdom of the winds ... |

Martie...As always your memories of Michelle are so touching. The passage of time over the years measured in minutes and hours memories and tears Take comfort with your memories of her for now Till eternity returns her too you. ~~To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you~~ |

A very fitting atatemnt of what love is and how we never get over things we find ways to build life with it as a reality - your Michelle has said much to many for her whole existence which has never stopped - Paul |
