Just Listen

to what you see.

  Fix your eyes

on what you 

hear.

  Do you taste 

the backward syncopation 

of 

  your life's choreography?

Does the primeval perfume of the sea

wash over you

does the acrid taste 

of 

of a single rose petal dropping to earth

move you?

Feel the stars on your fingertips

and 

shine light years

on

someone's life.


  Dedicated to my mother

Grace

long gone

but who loves me still

beyond 

the light years of time.

  4. Stunning elegant words to relish and taste!

    I am simply mad for that shot of the worn out pointe shoes - I've saved it to my computer and am using it for my new screensaver. I'm going to love seeing it every morning when I turn on my computer - and I'll think of all the beauty you've brought into my life over the years!

  9. Oh Anita, thank you for this post. Such beauty. I have read of those horses and would love to visit the area. I reared my own white horse, Gracie, and found a forever home for her before my move to the city. Thank you again.

  11. A beautiful post . . . but all that I could think of when seeing those worn ballet slippers was . . . all those sore and bloody toes.
    Sorry how my mind works.

  12. Anita, this post hit home for me, as I'm thinking of my mother lately, and even mentioned her in my next post. I absolutely love that picture of the woman, it's magical. Your mother's name was Grace? What a beautiful name. And she passed along grace to her very special daughter. I wonder, is it this time of year that we miss our moms, Anita? This post was heartwarming, and it sounds like you are missing your mom as well. The ballet slippers look tired and worn, but still so beautiful and ready to dance again. : )

    love, ~Sheri

  17. Chère Anita,

    Quel beau message encore ...
    Comme tu le dis si bien: l'amour est éternel.
    Je te souhaite des merveilleuses journées d'automne ...

    Je me sauve
    dans tes rêves magiques,
    dame du lac lointain
    dans les forêts murmurantes
    les brins d'herbe courbés
    le coeur battant des lauriers-roses

    Car
    il n'y a rien de plus beau...

  22. That is just so lovely Anita.
    I love the delicate way you
    illustrate the hurt that we sometimes
    feel and experience, your posts always gives
    hope and encouragement.

    It reminded me of my mother who has passed away
    years ago but a hole in my heart is still vacant
    because she has gone away too soon and nobody can ever
    replace her place in my heart.
    It was her birthday this week.
