DAYS
25 March 2006

These pastel tiptoe-days
are a furtive forest chalice,
for winter wistfulness

I want to carry them
with mountain grace
and reverent brushstrokes

I want to sing them
light
and murmur them
dark
and chatter them
posy colours

I want my children
to remember them
silver-soft
like a dance
a firefly dance
a sparkle-night moment
in tranquil forest awe

I want my children
to remember them
in grey and gracious
arabesques

I want my children
to remember them
golden-warm
in sunbeam pathways
across the park
and the ocean
and to Heaven
and back
in golden circle smiles.

These are wonderful memories you want your
children to have.

A beautiful poem.
Hugs,

Thank you for your kind responses, Martie, garysgirl and Steven.

Yes, that is a good idea, Steven.
