Serenity's Semblance

serenity’s semblance on her lined  face

as I stoop at the casket

to kiss her pallid cheek

Leaves me breathless. No casket for mom but I said last goodbye. The other day I dreamt I was laying on her chest, near her heart. Congratulations on a much-deserved win!

Another belated congratulations. First I love this form that gives just a few extra syllables than a haiku. It helps create a fuller image/message. This one is perfect.

Appropriate response to viewing a loved one whom you know well - inspired perhaps by the recent death of Maya Angelou. Interesting use of "semblance" which in some cases could have a negative connotation - Congrats, Andrea.
