Ash On The Mountain tiny ashes raining down, returning to the world now after the fate that took them up, made them something more, let them bloom in beauty if only for a while reduced now to a dry mist they settle on the mountainside so thin, so small, helpless compared to the weight of it and the weight of life, the beauty that they carried if only for a while new life will grow here, a mother’s angel child dance along these paths unknowing that the flowers careless in her hand sprang from the ash of other flowers carried to another mother, and they brought her joy if only for a while ----------- 10-03 It seemed like a good time to repost this one, just seemed right to me. |

It is a gift... to be able to see the beauty that remains even when gray seems to have obliterated all vestiges of beauty and its memories... and remind those who most need that comfort. Beautiful work... beautiful gift! |
