Dear Love

Dear Love

What a delight
to hold you close.
Just days old,
your gentle strength
sparkles clearly with love.
Your namesake,
my Nanny,
held me
with the same caring arms
and softness of heart
as I held your mama
and your uncle,
hold your brother,
and now you.
What continuity,
what dear love,
we all share.
Mabel Elska,
Dear Love.
Welcome.

Love, Oma

Oh how lovely is this flower of love that you have planted in your family so long ago - blossoming with each new emergence of life... Just love-ly... Warms my heart :) Love blooms...

Tender Light Softens - When the Deep Places Speak

Published on October 24, 2022 by Golden Dragonfly Press. This book contains work from January of 2020 through August of 2022. I wrote my way through the pandemic and, as I reread my own words, I am in awe of the hope and healing that ran true all along the way.
