Kacy’s garden Winter’s temporary silence kept the seeds of your lonely garden in peaceful sleep. But now the songbirds are announcing Spring and the seeds stir and stretch in sweet longing for the sun’s warm touch. They listen for your steps and for your voice. Your love is not forgotten. They will feel you in the hush of a moonlit night. They will recognize your tender caress in the ethereal touch of the humming breeze. They will know then ... And the blooming flowers will reach high into the distant sky to meet your smile ... * * * N.B. I was thinking of Kacy’s - Midnitesun's - garden where she spent so much time before moving to Oregon and to the distant skies ... I dedicate these words to her, remembering her extraordinary beauty in deep gratitude. |

The image, and the poem, such beauty my feeble words can only despoil. So I will just step back, keep silent, see, and listen . . . Thank, Margherita, Art |

"Your love is not forgotten." And that last verse is achingly lovely. I'm so bad at goodbyes...I've been at a loss for words since she passed. It's a silly thing that I did in her memory, but I play a little game called Farmville, and well, I placed a horse stable on it and named it for her. (toldja it was silly) But it makes me smile, and I like to think that it would make her smile as well. This, though is lovely, and so are you. |

They listen for your steps and for your voice. Your love is not forgotten. They will feel you in the hush of a moonlit night. Dear Margherita, you are a very special person to be able to write such a lovely poem about another very special person. A wonderful tribute to Kacy. I'm so glad you are my friend, Love Lindsay |

Thank you all, my dear Poet friends, for remembering dear Kacy together with me and through her flowers. She is really very much present here on Pip and within our hearts. Your words moved me. Love, Margherita |
