Dust

~*~

A lovely hand-tatted

Lace filled with

Devoted affection

Her creative artistry

Lilies graced tiny birds

Swirling in the clouds

Above…

Gifts of life-loved

Tiny knots tied

With threads

Of distant

Contemplation

Woven

In a

Room illuminated

With only an old

Hand-painted

Kerosene lamp

Both now lay

With care upon

A mahogany

Dinner table

Lifting off that

Special gift

I discover

More lovely patterns

Of her

Dear soul

Now housed

In my heart

Of distant past
