In the still,
We saw only the leaves, the paper of petals, moving.
Yet, all for all, were humbled;
Moved.

"           "
              * Squizzel
                wa       s       my
                    first      word,    
                                                            sat upon my mothers                                        knee.

          ­                                                 Two little maple syrup eyes                   blinked, smiled,
                                                            look­ed up at me from under a         wild mop of Autumn 
                                             coloured hair; A tiny little hand      curling around                                                  my finger.  Such love. I feel.
     **She'll be sipping 
                                          a Gingerbread Latte along-side me today,
                                               when, just two, walk through the park      
                  feeding squirrels,
                 silently.

The title - were my mums words to me
(& my words to my little ginger toddler)

Her soundtrack, for my life...
Fairground Attraction, Whispers.

One silvery arc crosses the darkest distance.
Listen quietly... Hear silences between beats;
As shared scenes, bring us together,
apart.

Eastward pointing horns
(pointing to the left, as seen from the Northern hemisphere)
indicate a waxing crescent.
