... memory and visitation


Poem Artwork

Ribbons ... 
 
I could not help the silly jokes
any less than our conversation
embraced with nostalgic punctuation.
Cosmic commas every blink of my eye,
every tap of my hand upon your memory,
with every prayer for the children you seeded.
Your delicate ribbons wrap round my wrist ... 
 
... and tug at my heart, tug at this illusion
lifting upwards with strength only met in the heavens,
unaffected by the passage of time.
Goodbye has never existed.
Goodbye was never an option.
 
jr 5/26

Few can capture life, love, and devotion like this masterpiece.

Much conveyed in a few words. An affecting and moving piece one has to tread delicately with. For me the image of ribbons (around the wrists and forearms) evokes life's fragility and impermanence; a deeply personal poetic expression of carrying a loved one forward. The spirit of this piece will stay with me for awhile. Thank you for sharing something so personal. It's good to see your name again Jeanne. Peace. rlc
