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

Joining today with d'verse poets for open link night... where you will find the wonderful words of poets.

    I like the white silence of the day. I remember too my loved ones who can't be with us on this special day. This is a lovely share and tribute ~

    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.)

    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.

    Truly a wonderful tribute you gave. We all tend to look toward the past this time of year too.

    Tears here.

    That photo. Is it the ground or window frost? It's beautiful.
