Alice, in wonderland ...

Dreaming of blossom

Netting blows

father whistling,

my world at ease ...

Mama's soft fingers

gently thumbing through curls,

peepers close tight,

dreaming unfurls

Beautiful Alice

April's Perpetual Petal
(would have been 90 years today)

This is a beautiful tribute to your mother, Sue my dear. She was a lovely woman and I can see such a resemblance between the two of you. The love you have for her and the security she gave you is palpable. Thank you for sharing this memory.
Love,
Noelle

I have been 'lying low' as an old friend used to put it, not low through depression or anything like that but since my love passed away parts of my known world have passed too. I have difficulty recognizing the landscape around me, I'm lying low so that I can absorb some of the new terrain. I am still quite dizzy, it's going to take some time... Much of what I wrote about here in this space would involve a brief glimpse of 'my love' and our life together.
