Emerald and Crimson Virginia Salter emerald and crimson laced with white snowflakes and icicles flickering the night sleigh bells in the distance over carolers at play mark a wonderful ending to a blessed day. friendships on my heart thoughts on my mind wrapping paper, ribbons, love’s blessings unwind echoes in my memory of promises heard linger on the breeze as the wings of a bird. night’s darkness, sprinkled with lights ricocheting, with the rhythm of the wind flowing out of the north, bringing winter ever near, magnifying how wondrous the hearth and having you here. as grandma’s lap brought love and security and grandpa’s pipe an eternal memory the scent of your presence, the sense of your arms enfold me, encircle me, promise me no harm. the harshness, of a sometime world, is held well at bay in the touch of your hands and the things that you say you are not omnipotent, you are not invincible yet when I am with you, I become as a child, fully safe in your care. December 1999 |

I'll give an Amen to that Elizabeth! I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |
