Love Will Find A Way I thought to find peace Drawn in colors of the end of fall Where I weave this familiar curve of road My eyes dropping over the vale into the shadows Searching for something left behind From the ashes that were your life Still the pine and the oak hold true As if it was only yesterday that you flew Their weathered watch keeps As I watch a leaf twirl before my vision Catching the sun in reminder to look up There six white doves Strain the blue sky with a sieve of white Tuning their timing to my need Your cheeks the color of roses When you were six and wrote your words In big stubby lopsided letters of love Spelling Merry Christmas With white paint on blue paper Is there something that I could say That would stop the movement of this day That curves so quickly into winter Something that would hold me for a minute By the cradle where you taught me How big my heart could be My peace is pining in the afterglow of years Bucketed between surges of mourning Where I would have you true and still My child of the earth Until I see the white wings Disappear over the ridge and away And the leaf continues its path to the ground In an obvious display of the answer Love will find a way -------- a repost for Christmas in memory of Michelle |

Is there something that I could say That would stop the movement of this day That curves so quickly into winter Something that would hold me for a minute By the cradle where you taught me How big my heart could be ~*~ You hold her very well, Martie. |

Such love...such perfect love. Of course it will find a way. It already has, and the way lies open before your feet. Some day you will walk along it. |

Martie You see the dove of white in gray And a tear washes the gray away. |

SisterOfThisHeart~ 'There six white doves Strain the blue sky with a sieve of white Tuning their timing to my need Your cheeks the color of roses When you were six and wrote your words In big stubby lopsided letters of love Spelling Merry Christmas With white paint on blue paper Is there something that I could say That would stop the movement of this day That curves so quickly into winter Something that would hold me for a minute By the cradle where you taught me How big my heart could be' Always, always ... you find a way to touch me~ I love you and your beautiful word-memories of Michelle~  *Huglets*  ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

Martie excellent poetry.... I love these words "Still the pine and the oak hold true As if it was only yesterday that you flew Their weathered watch keeps..." These brought a tear "When you were six and wrote your words In big stubby lopsided letters of love Spelling Merry Christmas With white paint on blue paper" Thses show how strong a command you have of poetic art.. "My peace is pining in the afterglow of years Bucketed between surges of mourning Where I would have you true and still My child of the earth" As you can tell, I enjoyed this poem very much. ________ice ><> |

Is there something that I could say That would stop the movement of this day That curves so quickly into winter Something that would hold me for a minute By the cradle where you taught me How big my heart could be This would touch me deeply at any time... on a day that started with still more tears of loss and sweet remembrance, it gives the cleanse of peace. Simply magnificent! |

When love has left us, living only in our memories, The peace we find in contemplation is revealed in our writing. This is such a lovely piece, Martie, I hope your expression gave you rest. Ken Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |
