February 21, Every Year Today you emerged from hibernation. I felt you tapping the shoulder of my memory. Look, you said, I am swept under your heartbeat, sleeping, covered by hours then by days finally by years until my laughter fades and the sound of my voice is lost. I am only noticed when February cuts into your heart or in my picture one sided and posed. You look for me across the mountain top as if my ashes are what seed the ground and I can feel the pilgrimage of your feet upon my soul. Your heart beat is me and the ache in womb the full blue veined breast of remembering is where you can find me and I will always be there trust your tears.

Your walk in this life holds much to the fact that so many of us learn what the true love of a parent is and has to offer and your poetry holds the beauty of her in our hearts closely as we are able to see the two of you forever entwined hand in hand through your heart. Beautiful words and very touching tribute you share with us my friend. Big hugs from the cowboy. |

touching and yes. the trust of tears, sometimes the ONLY thing you can trust in! "When red-haired girls scamper like roses over the rain-green grass, and the sun drips honey." Laurie Lee |

Big HUGS Martie...I know they can't physically reach you but I'm hoping the thought can be shared along with the tears. I was directed to a site hosting your poems and photographs of Michelle a little while ago and looked for a guest book but couldn't find one. She's beautiful, just like her mum and she always will be..  Take care...it's a beautiful poem. HUGS |

Same month, different date, different reason...nonetheless, it took me back, way back. And I found the pain was less. Thank you for that. |
