These Three and Me (In memory of my mother, Marian, my father, Vincent and daughter, Michelle) In the mourning dove’s lament across the line of sky where time stops, in the bend to light of tulip face, I feel embrace of love not stab or wounded wide in cry, no, at peace from misery’s last sigh and hallowed by the places it has been. A mother's grace of smile to child in open arms now warmth displays to little me, so fragile strong in run across the lawn of time to grasp her skirt again and feel some safety there at last from past. And father young and captured in the sandy beaches of my heart, still ebbs, is gone yet flows to teach the steps to take past fear with open arms the beacon, into the depth so lit, to experience beyond the fear, the joy. Even winter with love just broken and child by death newly taken from me, I knew the white light around the place, this corner of grace was where to go to hold myself within my arms and know even past my sight that everything would be all right. And so those three with some of me have stayed in places they knew not, to break the chain that held me tight so I could fly within the mourning dove’s lament across the line of sky where time stops to meet them once again. -------- 5-02 [This message has been edited by Martie (02-20-2003 05:30 PM).] |

There are four angels, but one of them is still earth-bound....you! A soul-touching piece of poetry. Warm hugs to you and your three angels, Linda |

 (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, this brought me to tears as you have such an angelic heart and I know your mom will always be your dove wings, your father will always be the song and the roots in your hearts garden, and your Michelle the rainbows of your skies and the flowers that bloom in you as you are a flower girl of love and compassion! (kiss on cheek) You are very special and loved by many, sweet friend, your loved ones will always be so proud of you, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martie, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
