Listening to every heart

Come in Quietly

In this room of
quiet spent
she rocks memories
of heaven’s lent
to and fro
to and fro
to and fro


lo this cool
October mourn
she remembers
and is torn
to and fro
to and fro
to and fro


I would call to her
a name
but this day brings
quiet’s fame
to and fro
to and fro
to and fro


so instead I shall
draw a chair
and in silence, we
shall share
to and fro
to and fro
to and fro


in friend, in kind
in sympathy’s mind
we shall rock
as memories lock
to and fro
to and fro
to and fro



In Memory of Michelle, for Martie

Quiet memories are sometimes the best comfort that we shall find.  I am sure that Martie will thank you for this and your kind heart and friendship. Well written and even better example of what caring means.

Soft and gentle....lovely. Chris

Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away.

Karilea--I felt you there before the poem, and to rock with you brings much comfort. Thank you for your loving friendship.

Said with the tender understanding and sharing I have aways seen in your loving words. This is beautiful and touched my heart.

Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

Quite often a mere silent presence is far more reassuring than a situation stifled by the inadequacies of language. A comforting thoughtful write.

Sunshine...you certainly do know how to add warmth to anyone's heart no matter where they are sitting. So wonderful this verse.
Saving this for a porch day. Hugs!
