Forever

The rocks all fuzzy green with moss, her dress.
Her laugh, the soft slip of riffled water.
Alder trees, green and insect chewed
until they are like lace, her bed.

Her song is the wind,
that moves, pushed by invisible hands
that dance with beguile.
Her jeweled slippers
are made from dappled light.

She has frolicked here with someone,
for a damn is built of rocks,
child tossed with gleeful jump and splash.

In the peace of river’s satin finish
a leaf falls,
the ripples circle out
until they touch my heart.

They are proof of forever.
________
for Michelle

and so I just know
that love never dies
and that souls hold all the candles
and they are the kind
you can’t blow out

So that you won't ever forget me.~

as are your words(proof of forever)
and this beauty is yet another to go into my butterfly collection...
another rose for my garden of Michelle

me

This distance has shown how the road remains alone
Now I'm looking in my life ... for a truth that is my own.

Martie, 'her jeweled slippers'
'are made from dappled light' this is so lovely. Your writing amazes and delights me, and often as to-day, brings a tear to my eye. Chris
