I bequeath my soul
To seas and shores
Where once whispered
I love you's!
were met with I love you too's!
On winds now hollowed
with distant and melancholy memories
I bequeath my soul
To rains
To shadows
To trees swaying in the breeze
I bequeath my soul
To rapids fast and furious
To mountain streams
To desert lands
I bequeath my soul
To music that speaks to your soul
and reminds you, of me and my love for you.
I bequeath my soul
To your children
and they are beautiful.
I bequeath my soul
To sunsets
To sunrises
To all good and right
rituals near and far
I bequeath my soul
To journeys not yet taken
and as I look out beyond this veil
I bequeath my soul
To you…

I feel deeply touched by this. It is exquisite. It needs no comment to affirm it. It stands alone - as all true beauty does. Thank you.
Calli, I think this is the most beautiful expression of continuation I've read. I know your mother would be proud of you and YOUR beautiful soul. I believe we do go on, and you have expressed it so wonderfully. Hugs to you on this day.
Gosh! THIS IS BEAUTIFUL!
Your love giving,your love feeling. Yes, your angels are there- or part of them,say >Your Mother...(for sure) and all the others to give you such inspiration.
How nice to feel so. Dear Calli,
Thank you for such delightful post :)
So gorgeous, left me breathless as I read it...
you are such a beautiful soul Calli
with love and thoughts,
Katie
absolutely beautiful Calli. What a wonderful tribute. You have a luminous soul..it shines forth in all that you create. love and light my sos...: )
Perfect sis, your poetry is always so honest and pure, but this one is like a song out of the quiet night.
Calli, your poem I bequeath my
soul is romantic and also very
life-affirming. You're at one
and honoring Mother Nature and
the beauty within the world.
You're submission to all the
blessing and to revealing yourself
to your lover is beautiful.
I am reminded of W.W. Leaves of
Grass {hope I didn't botch the
title} Your soul Calli is very
beautiful and very sweet.
What a lovely tribute to your mother. I think she is touched and proud.
I also have to say that you find the most wonderful images to add to your posts.
...and a naked soul comes back running, with winged feet, through meadows of flowers...
beautiful, Calli.
i loved reading
and then realizing
that it was from your Mom's perspective.
she missed so much beauty,
but yes - bequeathed so much.
(that is evidenced by her daughter, grandchildren!)
she knows. she loves. she guides.
and in ways that we cannot imagine.
peace, my friend~
