Taken by surprise I see her
the woman in the mist
a smile fused with love
Reaching out to her
I grasp a small hand
the woman in the mist
we walk and talk about life’s ups and downs
she listens as she always has
the woman in the mist
of my loss she understands
I awaken from a beautiful dream
that is springlike warm and green
the woman in the mist
she queries of her boys
and her heart’s desire
I assure her they are fairing well
the woman in the midst
our time escapes too soon
I will wait another year
for a moment with a friend so dear
the woman in the mist
Dedicated to my friend Cyrilla whose birthday we celebrate her memory will never fade from those she loves

Thank you for visiting Moondustwriter. One of the many exciting things I've had the honor of doing is writing and publishing in multiple genres (including education) in E. African for E. Africa. As a writer, it is a thrill to write for children (on all continents) who want to learn.
I've been part of the blogging community for more than 13 years. Some old timers may remember the award winning (2011 Twitter Shorty ) blog community - One Stop Poetry. I was the co-producer of that fast growing blog community.
I am a published writer, poet, artist and photographer. I have written, as well as edited, for periodicals, radio, blogs and fellow writers.
There are many facets to this moon - my joy is in meeting you!

Oh, that is just beautiful.
A gift to all who knew her. The Eastern Churches pray “May her memory be eternal” for she will remain while there are those who remember her.
