Thanks so much Tina ... I'm so glad you got those little echoes of magic, and questions ... c'est la vie, always, hmm?

Comment from Dawn Munro
Wow, I sense a lot more than sorrow in this poem, Sharyn - it's a mixed bag of emotion, and as lovely as it is, with a feeling of peace, too, it's just a bit disturbing, as if there's something below the surface causing more than sadness. Could it be a worry that the dead are lost? That they envy life?
Whatever it is, it makes this poem stand out even more, in my opinion...

thanks Dawn ... I guess there's always an uncertainty in me about death and afterlife, a sense of mystery ... fear of the unknown ... My own mother is alive & kicking, but my dad is not, and I often think about him. More wondering if there's any connection remaining ... and that, of course, gets into religion and spirituality ... how long have you got for THAT one! ???
Bless you for your lovely, sensitive response.

Yes, many mothers have long since been laid to rest. I don't think they are aware of us anymore - not until we meet again. Great thoughts though.

Who knows, Nicole ... my mother's still alive & kicking, but I like to think about my dad checking in on me every so often from "up there" ... :))
Comment from Lucy26
Very well written. heartfelt and profound. I think they do know we miss them.
we visit
our mothers
and stay a while
in the warm gold
of this summer-come-early afternoon
and
I
whisper
wondering ...
can they feel us?
do they love the trees?
and can they hear them breathe?
