Of Beauty

 

graphic compliments of chariT's inspirational creations

 

 

 

She is more sparkling beautiful than dawn’s light seen through tears

sun woven hair, carefree in the breeze

and soft as the dew

 

she smiles among the lilies in the garden

where all the dreams I’ve dreamt before and after

keep her

as one would something precious…

 

a flower

pressed between the pages of the past

yet blooming in my heart

forevermore

 

my friend, my mother,

a memory of beauty

Author's Note

My mother loved lilies. I miss her everyday. Happy Birthday Mom.

I know exactly where this piece came from my friend because I've lived it. The first line alone struck deep, and that was before I would go on to realize what this was about. Once I realized, I was close to tears. I'm not even sure what I could say in terms of consoling, except to tell you that my thoughts are with you.
