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.

Thank you for your very kind and compassionate comment. I appreciate you! :) Julie

What a splendid tribute you have painted in your uniquely lovely style for your mother, Julie. I loved every word.

[MsJewel]

Thank you Joyce. I hope you're enjoying a beautiful weekend :) Julie

Actually, my husband is doing the prep for a medical procedure tomorrow so I'm just hanging out but it gives me a chance to do a little poetry. Not a bad thing. Hope your weekend is going well.

[MsJewel]

I hope it goes well tomorrow Joyce. - nothing too serious. :)

[Joyce S. Greene]

No, routine. Still a pain to prep for, though. I've been thru it and it's the pits!

This was so sweet and touched my heart. I am a very emotional person and couldn't even imagine not having my mother around, she is my closest friend. This made my eyes a bit watery. So heartfelt and beautifully written.

"a flower

A lovely tribute and dedication to someone who I am sure was a beautiful person, that continues to fill your heart and soul with warmth.

What a gorgeous tribute to your Mom, Julie. You were so fortunate to have a mother who could also be your friend. I know how wonderful that can be. May memories of her comfort you. We never forget the important dates, do we? Lydi**

[MsJewel]

Thank you Lydi. Your comments mean so much to me. Her memories are a comfort - it is difficult this time of year though - her birthday and then the holidays. I know you can relate to this... Hugs, Julie

[Lydia Shutter]

((((Julie))))) yes, I do relate...and totally understand.

[writing mojo]

WOW! this is a great tribute piece to your mother, and the "flower pressed between pages of the past"...line really planted deep with within the dirt of my soul....It's amazing to me how painful seeds can grow into some the most beautiful written bouquets. They come from many different flowers with petals sowed by tears ...Great piece and I am sure your mother is in a heavenly garden looking down on you and smiling....saying thank you ...great piece

[MsJewel]

I think it all comes down to the very last line? " A memory of beauty " I have read many poems you have written of and for your mother, and they all have one thing in common, They are written with a memory of beauty. This one is another in your beautiful collection of poetry. Trace

[MsJewel]

I have a beautiful mother Trace - loving, kind, strong, carefree - beautiful. She will always be a memory of beauty - that one sparkling sunbeam on a rainy day. Hugs, Julie

[adreamer]
