Thank you for the comment, Heather. I think death is the hardest of all to write about - it is so easy to get maudlin. I'm not sure whether or not I did.

So striking. So powerfully touching.

Strong emotion.

And the way you worked this, I think it's posible to be the one looking down as well as the one being looked down on from heaven - the mourner as well as the mourned.

A genuiness of feeling here.

Not maudlin, Magi. Chillingly beautiful in my opinion.

Thank you Spencer and Cindy for your kind comments. It wasn't an easy piece to write the way that I did.

Thank you Kathryn and Sandy. After so many years of not writing creatively - and poetry especially - your comments encourage me to keep trying to rise again to the standard I once achieved. But I thought I might have let it all languish far too long to now do other than the mediocre.

You have no idea how much I doubt myself. So, once again, thank you sincerely.

This is hardly mediocre. It is an emotional painting, using words for brushes and truths for hues. It quite literally gave me shivers, even on a third read.

Even the wings of your soul sometimes are broken ! I am learning a lot from you dear friend; I also understand that even if we try hard to mantain the balance within us- there are times when it is difficult or impossible-. But then there is another day and the sun is shining again and our soul is bathing in the tears we shed and which in time became pure crystal water.
Thank you for being in my life
I am so ever grateful and feel blessed in the same time.

Thank you very much, Marinela. You are very kind.

Grief can overwhelm us in this world - but the sun always comes out again.

My dear friend, we are benediction unto each other.

I agree that this is not mediocre and you should continue writing (as you so obviously have since this was posted). It is moving. To be mourning or to be mourned ~ it touches both aspects.

Renda, you are most kind. Thank you very much for your encouragement.

What a powerful description of grief, mourning, sadness.

Strong emotions conveyed with a few select words.

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Aug 27, 2009, 8:52pm EDT

Thank you very much, Wilma.

I was looking through all of my "bookmarks" on my computer last night and found where I'd bookmarked a directory of your poetry.

So here I am.

Magi the magical poet is riding the wind again Aug 27, 2009, 8:56pm EDT

I wondered how you found this, Wilma.

Welcome to my poetry .... this year I have concentrated on posting prose - mostly the Tales from Leprechaunia series, but I will get back to posting poems.
