Silence falls
in peace

a forest where 
quiet tears lay frozen
in beautiful sorrow

a still life
surrounded
by layered  memories

covering each other
in colors of unique

so I remember
life and laughter and love

Patricia Spreng
in loving memory of Margie, Marilyn, Mike, Mom and Dad

  2. The photo is stunning. Is it the ground you've photographed?

    (I so appreciated your God-Bumps story, too. I'm just getting around to blogs today, after Christmas gatherings and now sickness in our home.)

  8. Oh so spare and so lovely, Pat. Thank you for this. And thanks so much for your oh-so-kind words at my place earlier today. You do know what this is like - and I'm sorry for how well you know this. Missing all those dear ones with you tonight, even though i never met them. Prayers and love to you.
