February 21, Every Year (In memory of Michelle) Today you emerge from hibernation. I feel you tapping the shoulder of my memory. Look, you say, I am swept under the heartbeat of your memory, sleeping, covered by hours then by days and finally by years until my laughter fades from memory and the sound of my voice is lost. I am only noticed when February cuts into your heart or in my picture one sided and posed. You look for me across the mountain top as if my ashes are what seed the ground and I can feel the pilgrimage of your feet upon my soul. Don't you know, your heart beat is me and the ache in womb, the full, blue veined breast of remembering is where you can find me and I will always be there? Trust your tears. -------- I know I have posted this every Feb 21st since I joined Pip...the compassion that it takes to read and reply again, and for some again and again, is much appreciated by the two of us. Heart hugs to my poet family. |

lovely poem. i have heard your poem talking to you as if it were alive.in a way, poems are alive because they are fragments of the writer's soul. congratulations on your, shall we say, piptalk anniversary? although i'm new here, i have to say that piptalk helps writers help each other. write on!  |

Not only do our tears hold half of our children's essence They pour at will, at the mere thought of a sad event in their lives... Or of a loving memory... Yes Martie, She is right, how could tears like that, not ever be true Heartfelt Blessings Martie Richy  |

And each year will be just as beautifully composed and presented as the last. For she will never be forgotten, not by you or by any of us as well.... Hugs Lady.... |

Dear Martie, you move me to tears with these words of yours so melancholically permeated with love. Mother and child are always one, forever, beyond these earthly limits. Joy and sorrow may alternatively fill your heart when you remember, but LOVE is always there. Love and hugs. Margherita |
