She understood fingers which touched piano keys And some answers to unanswered questions She understood why rainbows disappear And sun soaked skin bathed in warmth breathed She understood the words of lost souls And boys who were brave enough to go She understood garnets of wind brushing her face And why gravity held thick painted hallways And evening bridges sprawling out to sea She understood why some baby birds must leave And why her love of solitude cradles She understood the hedge in her yard And the calmness of a candle in her arms She understood with clarity innocence and naïve And the sapphire of flotsam profoundly She knew a mystic state of heaven’s eyes Where a river goes when it cries She knew great interludes with books The fusion of art and poetry’s flickering windows She knew and heard spoken words of nature What lies beneath the taste of calm pleasures She well knew her teachers with their drifting captions Why butterflies were drawn to warm colors She knew her body both inside and out And powers reining with the temptresses of clouds She knew how difficult it is for a mother to let go But she also knew the joy of hearing a whippoorwill She gazed into the eyes of the quivering wind And valued the core of frequencies dancing She knew the cold and dark shadows of terrible sounds And she knew they’d soon leave as angels ministered their passions She knew words, and the great steps they formed And the vacuum of loss in need of reform She knew the spiral staircase to his home Was a place she’d always think of and know But most of all she knew that sometimes love May also be the echo of letting go |

This...is wonderful.. "She knew how difficult it is for a mother to let go But she also knew the joy of hearing a whippoorwill She gazed into the eyes of the quivering wind And valued the core of frequencies dancing" And the delicate closing... "She knew the spiral staircase to his home Was a place she’d always think of and know But most of all she knew that sometimes love May also be the echo of letting go" Very beautiful indeed Lee.

I absolutely love the last line: “But most of all she knew that sometimes love May also be the echo of letting go.” Brilliant write Lee J. JL |

Well Dixie should be extremely pleased with this because it is very heart warming and gentle but still paints the picture of reality in reflection. Nice work, I really enjoyed the read. Eric Ain't doin nothin at all |
