Notes About The Poem

Image- Mulheres de Quarenta

Etiquette Becomes Me

The beginning holds a once upon a time -
eyes reflect light, endless and sublime


kindness being a Virtue


Tender beats of the heart whisper grace,
lines draw a smile upon the face


Patiently, I wait for you


Etiquette becomes me:
part of the past, the present
   and future’s reality

Embracing an emotion, harmony found in blue,
or the touch of pink- as colors often do

Calm becomes a soothing melody
Love being an echo upon lips of sincerity


Etiquette becomes me:
   the mind, the body

the past, the present, in future's reality


The beginning holds a once upon a time -
eyes reflect light, endless and sublime



Etiquette becomes me:

~ Tender thoughts from the Heart ~

Author's Note~ Inspired by a simple phrase felt along the wind, 
"Always be you!"

A beautiful, lilting gem that excited me as a poet and caressed love's truest dreams inside me as a woman. If the perfect tree were here with me, I'd lean against it and contemplate all in the write that mellows and excites. All the best ... CayCay
