Lightfilled one (for Maureen)

by Maria Massarella


I would gift you
a bouquet of Mediterranean stars
with a pretty note
that your every wish be granted

were you here

but you are
there

amidst sparkles
painting forevers
with your breath

rippling your song
melodious
into the universe

stars
bejewel your toes
luminescent suns
moon your
fingertips


eternal
the flame
aglow
in your
heart

as in mine
blessed
to know you






pace
m.angelina

How beautiful!!! I still feel Maureen's presence when I'm roaming the pps halls too. reading the comments she left goes accompanied with a certain sadness, yet also with a wonderful satisfying feeling. I'm glad you wrote this Maria.

Loved the flow..thye boquet of Mediterranean stars and the "gift you" verb Your poem is magical and soothing and peaceful..... I can see Reen's eyes light up like stars when she reads this....... Thank you on behalf of Maureen, who was not available today....I think she is out surfing the stars.

"thye boquet" should of course be "the bouquet"...I must have been with the stars as well!

Ah! Another jewel for that sparkling soul we still miss so much. She DID insinuate herself into my psyche. It is such a consolation to read someone of your reach into the universe grasping a piece of her to display so artfully here for all of us to savor. Thank you. You are ANOTHER dear heart in our midst.

this is the kind of thing i'd kill to write for my mother...extremely pretty, a dedication most would kill for. touching and soft with pretty imagery and playful thoughts (bejewelled toes). intergalactical appreciation...this poem is so warm. ---sk
