Floating Through Poetry Dream Skies


A pantoum for Meo

We float through poetry, where words twinkle just like stars
And craft infinite verse of connections, here in dreamer space
Meo has been waiting, heart presence never far
Glowing warm and radiant, in compassionate embrace

We craft infinite verse of connections, here in dreamer space
Love of those departed remains right here, Ours
Glowing warm and radiant, in compassionate embrace
Stories, recipes, traditions ache to be memoirs

The love of those departed remains right here, Ours
Meo’s lavendar soap scent and handkerchiefs of lace
Stories, recipes, traditions ache to be memoirs
Cookbooks of truth-telling could be our saving grace

Meo’s lavendar soap scent and handkerchiefs of lace
Juicy vegetable gardens, endlessly full cookie jars
Cookbooks of truth-telling cold be our saving grace
Tastes of four generations create our reservoir

Juicy vegetable garden, endlessly full cookie jar
Oval framed, faded photo of her kind and gentle face
Tastes of four generations create our reservoir
Dreamers sky-time legacies never more erased

Oval framed, faded photo of her kind and gentle face
Meo has been waiting, heart presence never far
Dreamer’s sky-time legacies never more erased
We float through poetry, where words twinkle just like stars.
