Garden of Michelle

25 April 2006


Just to think of her
in knowing life was true
Her words, her heart in beauty being
a light to a sunshine across the ways
Sisters and kin - a dividend of states

Time was short, but love was long
empathy was entity over memories fond
A mother, in ways of more to think
her touch, a gentleness as to a rose

Flowers to her garden of Michelle
weathered leaves upon a pattered knee
This spirit never left to die
as unto a rest, her surety all in peace

A mother whom always defends that gift
her heart, her haven, a tailor to sew
Of a weaving wind, cotton engraved
each thread her own in given moderation


“For Martie”


“Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden;
and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.”
John 19: 41
