The wind recognizes you rustling through time in quiet whispers, shifts and changes its course, allowing morning's mauve-shadowed murmurs to cover you as sweet as a newborn's breath. Magnolia's layered scents mixed with spring lay upon your shoulders and the twisted gnarled weeds of time straighten in prolific bloom then bow to whom you are. You are the journal of miles traveled the miracle of whom you have become etched upon your face with a master’s fine brush crowning your head in soft silken threads brushing your lips with bruised memories a masterpiece of sublime artistry residing within a carriage of the soul. |

Marcia, besides being "dedicated to Jerry" (LOL!), I would guess that this could be about your late husband, but that it is more likely to be about your mother. It is a wonderful and worthy tribute in itself, an exquisite poem and bursting not only with beautiful and effective metaphors, but extremely interesting ones. Owl |
