Dream Dance

  DREAM DANCE I held her frail body in my arms:
 “ Don’t worry, mom, I will danse you to the other side.”
 The music began to play as we twirled around the room. She smiled and lay her head close to mine In the light of the moon. She looked up and “thank you, “ I heard her say As she sighed and slowly slipped away.

You reach out and take hold

You reach out and take hold of our hearts in this poem and with them hold your mother in their/our company as if it were us who were there in that moonlit room dancing with your two spirits, it makes us hold our breath just for the moment, and all the music stops..... and silence fills our hearts now empty, and strangely moved. Moved, Annuccia
