in focused timelessness.
a sweeper of life's path,
my caretaker of the dawn.

the trident of our hedges.
Mercy bless Grandmother,

Gentle
visions of evenings
walking the lane in June.
Inhaling the lilacs and roses
capturing essence abloom.

The
smells of her sweet
apple pie in the oven
Her tender hug and kiss;
blessings from heaven.

rest by the stone wall,
as I cut some apple wedges
loving aroma and memories;
her light's upon those ledges.

Such a lovely experience to lose self in either one of your poems but to come across a collaboration between you two? That's a whole new feeling; that's like fresh bread out of the oven, hot chocolate after a toboggan run, a good night kiss from a beloved, a purring head bump and a big ol' wet sloppy kiss from man's best friend. What a team; I can't wait for more. You both tickle our fancy and then some. LOVE THIS.
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for your wonderful, kind comments!
DeleteKen and Blanca--enjoying your sensitive poem in all its gentleness--like especially these two lines from stanza 3:
