Arrested Flashings Split, spliced seconds mingling moments, time transcendent in smelling pine, fresh home-baked bread and ironed clothes my voice, her throat, curling, composed caress, calming children’s cries, verdant color eyeing curves grown round all that loved, she was someone, mine in spare moments not quite gone, just caught in places yet to travel she had to go first, but too soon… she would be smiling today, but, yes, now, here, arrested flashings… it won’t matter if you understand or not, it won’t matter to anyone but you, brother and you, sister and me. ~*~ I love you, Mom JSR – 7-10-31 - 11-18-92 Karilea - if I whisper, will you listen? Keeping in mind, I must stand close...and keep my promises... |

Lovely, packed gently with emotion. It is the way of things; the way it's supposed to go, we certainly weep if our child preceeds us, and yet the tears are ever-present even when things find their proper order...it almost always feels too soon. I love the "my voice her throat" line! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, I'll seek the lighthouse evermore. |
