All of Life Continues

The Fourth Dimension 

* Mystics use it as a place where spirits live, 
 since they aren't bound by our earthly rules
 In his theory of special relativity, Einstein 
 called the fourth dimension "time,"
 noted that time is inseparable from space.*

"ALL OF LIFE CONTINUES"

She was getting close to the curtains of departure 
 the flowers were still in bloom this August month 
 we were chatting amicably by her nursing bed 
 she tilted her head sideways and said, 
 all of life continues, and that was that 

Now that she is gone I see her everywhere 
 in more places then I did when she stood, 
 strong and vibrant as the tallest big tree ;
 As the memory unwilts beneath my mind 
 I sum up her life, and that is that 

Mother used to be an artist in the nursing home 
 she would paint for her children all the time 
 the same hand that brushed the canvass 
 once brushed my hair "voila deux belle tresse"
 She's in the 4th dimension, that's where she's at.

Rest in peace, "ma belle petite maman"

Beautifully expressed memories, though a hint of sadness floats through, it is those memories that often make us smile. Nicely done Pixie Dust
