How often, I remember when Mom's voice calmed from all my fears As nightfall traced our shadow-dance; Childhood tricks glowing in our eyes While fairy tales spoke of romance. Fine the hands swerving along winds, Rock-a-bye tunes lulled mellow nights Tender age spilling revelries, On my lap, tinsels wrapped moonlights. Where laughter whirled, catching the dew Till evening swept like blue rainfall; And we rolled on to touch the clouds, Then lulled away with my old doll. Till somewhere, I remember when Growing older as an adult Dear Mom I love, you're now a shrine; In hush of dusk, you pour gold light Right through my bosom...we entwine.

A lovely piece Nette...I imagine her smiling as you wrote this. The Gustav Klimt image is nicely appropriate also. J.

"On my lap tinsels wrapped moonlights." This is, by itself, an abstraction. Love every line, nette. "Nightfall traced our shadow dance," Lovely. Love, daver
