Between Conception and a Daughter's Face (in loving memory of Michelle) I must say the words that trip my heart for Michelle you taught me about the art the magnitude of the open space between conception and a daughter's face The swell is rare like someplace else that childhood captured up a tree and flew with breeze in kite believe a place of smooth sea glass and folded maps With foot no bigger then a finger and startled slippery embrace of air I see you there within my heart as if you had been there from the start a piece of me just waiting on my whim wrapped in cloth right now I feel I am still holding you in time backwards my lock of hair I see you still keep within your fingers past my weep Somehow you knew that I was wounded in my flight and heard the tears within my night for you could see past fact of infancy into the better place in me with just your head upon my shoulder yes you were the one that taught me how to be your mother Breast's swelling rich and true is gift I see not wrapped or bought but passed on free like milk's first drop when cry opens a place because of you I knew again my mother’s first embrace ________ 5-5-03 |

Martie, from "Between Conception and a Daughter's Face" to "because of you I knew again my mother’s first embrace" I was flooded with emotion. Your memories are indeed "loving"... Michelle, your Mom and you are all special. Love & Living Light, Linda  |

Somehow you knew that I was wounded in my flight and heard the tears within my night for you could see past fact of infancy into the better place in me with just your head upon my shoulder yes you were the one that taught me how to be your mother Such aching beauty... To say this is excellent doesn't do the heart of it justice... but excellent it is! |
