Shadows
~*Marge Tindal*~


~Shadows
of lingered light
hold the caress of you
in softly fingered photographs
Framing your smile in soft sepia hue
Reminding me you were so loved
before you went away
I’m left touching
Shadows~


*In loving memory of my mother,
Beverly W. Cowart
March 31, 1925 – October 4, 1995

~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram <))><

Such a lovely tribute Marge...
and you look ever so much like her..lovely.
Heart Hugs.

For it was not into my ear you whispered
But into my heart
It was not my lips you kissed
But my soul

Marge/sis.....I'm reminded of the poem that I wrote for my mother:

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

She is beautiful, as is your poem of remember.

Marge, this is so special.  Reminds me of a faded photograph of my Dad.  
But in my mind's eye I can see him so clearly.

God love him, and bless you for this.

excellent.

intentional or not the rhyming of you with sepia hue was brilliant. it really brought together the age and elegance of both the photograph and your mother.

My friends ... on this tender day of gentle remember, I so appreciate the kind thoughts you've left for me~

Yes, she was beautiful ... inside and out~

At the end of this day, I went to the river and cast a rose on the waters of the St. John's River ... with a poignant poetic piece in memory of my mother ... and also a rose for Terri Schiavo who went to Heaven this morning~

I have no doubt that my mother was waiting with outstretched arms to receive the precious angel Spirit of Terri~

Happy 80th Birth-of-day to my mother~

To each of you ... from the bottom of a grateful heart ... thank you~

Majnu~
How very sweet of you to have noticed ...
and yes, 'intentional' ... as it seemed to fall in place so easily~

'Meant to be' ... that's what it always is when the Spirits whisper to me~

Denise~
Thank you for the beautiful email~
