Fluttering A Memory ~*Marge Tindal*~ She walks my night in gossamer gown fluttering a memory as she touches down Gently she comes ... too quickly she's gone Leaving the notes of a well-sung song~ Motherly medley of reminisce touches my cheek in angelic kiss Softly trickles one tiny tear then quietly she disappears~ I wake on the dawn, so sure that she'll be here in my heart as a memory Astonished I hear the softest thing the quiet whirr of angel-on-wing~ On the pillow, right next to my head one feather left as a tear-in-shed An angelic memory laid with me last night and held my heart until early light~ *From a dream of tremendous inspire ... and the downy softness of one feather found Thank you, Mother ... for touching down~ April 28, 2002 ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ |

You’ve written absolute perfection here, and I’m spell bound by your ability to write such beauty. Truly outstanding writing you know I love it utterly utterly love it    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Marge, this is one poem that I just had to reply to. 'Moving,' 'soft' and 'beautiful' don't even scratch the surface of this. You often pen the prettiest and best poetry when it is about your mother. I truly believe that dreams are in fact reality in which they do remind us that there is life after death and that they still love and protect us. You've made me think of my own Grandma with this and I'm sure that your mother smiles in heaven at you. It sounds very cliche, I know, but, it certainly is a comforting thought, isn't it?  Into my library this goes~Melissa~ "Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |

Oh, Marge... this fluttered right into my heart. *S* It's so very lovely... and so full of the assurances that love knows no boundaries. *S* With the power of your pen, one feather has touched many. *S* [This message has been edited by suthern (04-29-2002 10:30 AM).] |

Marge - this is so lovely. I sometimes can feel my mother lightly as feather caress my hair. Dear poetess, your words will stay with me throughout this day and longer. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |
