You occupied the space you were born into... for a short while... and then it just closed up around you like quicksand... and you were gone. It took you away, took everything... even your shadow. Leaving only little sparkles of memory. The fairy dust of your essence, visible only to those who loved you. And soon they, too, will disappear from their space while holding tight to a handful of fairy dust. Ida Werrett [This message has been edited by Marchmadness (09-01-2012 06:27 PM).] |

Oh my, dear Ida, this tugs at the heartstrings. It is so very beautiful in its profound melancholy. Written with your usual mastery. Love, Margherita |

What a sad, mournful piece. The ache pours forth through this... and the lingering faerie dusts is just precious. ((Hugs to you, Ida)) Michael |

I've read this poem many times, each time I do, I see fairy dust sparkle through my tears in Gold flecks of Crystal. So beautiful... E |

Hi yann, so glad to see you here. I don't post on the other site either. It just isn't worth the trouble. Ida |

The magic of any birth never quite disappears, but especially and even more when the wind didn't get to toss their tendrils much... Quite lovely, and very sad, Ida. Thank you for sharing. |

If anyone can read this and not be touched, they should be checked for a pulse. Such aching... so beautiful. |
