A lotus blossomed there
we stared
trace the figure fingering petals of a star and I shift the sheath of blown to bits as if it were a water show fountains dappling in know as quick as hollow point she said "easier to preen" she smiled as she stitched the lace in place with a practiced risening:
"Gather buttons as you sew" with ribbons from the baby toes as eyelet loses starch too soon and little zippers chugging trains drag upon the plastic tracks and life is all that we complain Diapers make a cotton back and tiny denim pockets laugh at all the things we think we lack with our wallets oh-so-big...
a lotus blossomed there
we stared
and life is all that we complain petal of a star and I would buy a ticket for that train shifting sheath of blown to bits petals of a scar and I trace the fingers figuring as quick as hollow point I scream
the layers of the lilies peal like bells of brakes upon the tracks "eyelet" and the starch she lacked as quick as hollow point are tears, filling up the pond's despair--
yeah
a lotus blossomed here
and I
will always see her float
in ripples of her grave
I pray:
"A Lotus blossomed here."
I say,
whispering the rings...

Masterfully written, Karen. One of the best LOVE poems I've ever read. I'll be finding a very special shelf in my library for this beauty. *sigh*

Eloquence flows from you even in your darkest hours. I think of you often since you lost your sister ~ and every now and then I send you a loving hug.
Love & Eternal Light, Linda

thanks for reading
and I realize I'm poor company lately, so I'm trying very hard to leave the writing be, until I have something new to say.
Funny though, even when death becomes montonous, it doesn't lose it's impact for loss.
Thanks for listening to me...and I'll be around.
um...I think.
