French lavender still lingers in the air Delivering her presence as if she were there The room still warms with the essence of her Expectant of her maternal spirit to stir Her bed although empty, holds on to reflections Wrapped in her aroma , tears and affections Her dreams once played across these pillows of down Where she danced as a girl in her emerald gown The room, undisturbed since the day of her death Is crammed with her being and the love of her breath She is the smile in the mirror, the dance of the dust The shadow in the window and the hair in the brush The very air whispers with the sound of her laughter Like an echo of her soul to remind us long after Intense love is tangible here in her empty domain But we carry her within us like an eternal flame |

June; I was captured and enchanted from line one ! How well you write of the essence of your beloved grandmother! Exquisite poetry. Hugs, Ellie.... p.s. thank you so much for your sweet replies to my poems. A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails. |
