march 6 the day you grew wings and I earthbound cried out to you with love and despair like never felt before shall forever mark the calendar with my missing I wish you could come back and take the rest of me with you the bubbles in the sink she did her kitchen magic and I call it magic because she couldn't even recall you what she threw together to make them exclaim and ask for more, it was the day before the day that you left two years past and in her mind she was with you, this earthly vestige could not hold her spirit from joining yours in the clouds remembering smiles and soft kisses and touches so delicate so real… so far from the dishes that now need washed and the tears that softly join the bubbles in the sink. I miss him too in between the windex spray and the paper towel swirls and just before she fell to tears she said I am sorry I just can't hold it together any more and with sincerity the mirror looked back and said its ok girl, you go ahead and cry I understand I miss him too the three of us I sit and have to wonder just who is it I miss, and for whom do I cry is it him or you or maybe me I seem to have lost me somewhere in the process of losing him and finding you you held me up when his heart stopped but now its time for you to go too and I still can't find me the optometrist philosophy if I wore colored contacts and my eyes were no longer brown would you then, my friend have what it is I need? would I with green, color you with life desire and happiness, could I with blue paint your heart as mine and color me what you need? would a year and then just one more day be enough for your eyes to see the man that mine see for if you are not what I need, can you please tell my brown eyes to stop caring, to stop crying… I am confused [This message has been edited by Corazon (edited 03-06-2000).] |

The combination of excellent poetry and daily tasks, amazingly well done The ability to describe life with words is similar to painting a picture; both can be powerful tools. |

Corazon~ I share the marked calendar this time of year. 'the day you grew wings and I earthbound cried out to you with love and despair like never felt before shall forever mark the calendar with my missing' Just beginning to even try to heal from the wounds of losing a sister. Your words reached out to me .... *HUGS* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

These are lovely and heartbreaking, dear friend. That girl in the mirror isn't the only one who understands how much you can miss not just him, but also the you that you were with him. Anniversaries will always bring memories... I pray for the day when your memories bring smiles. |

Corazon, This is amazing writing, so real, so emotional. I was right there with those emotions and the saddness. This is one of my favorites, thank you for sharing this. Parker  |
