Poetry - Stars Fall Softly From Her Soul

 

Stars Fall Softly From Her Soul
By Marilyn R. Wilson

She was the mother ship

So named by one daughter

A perfect image created

And said with great love

Heart full of compassion

Acceptance and hope

Laughter contagious

A wide joyous smile

Filled with celestial music

Her bones were strong keys

Her muscles taut strings

Her soul offered the score

Family held first focus

Friends, students followed

Her home filled with warmth

A port in their storms

No matter how busy

In a gathering of many

She made time for each

A few words and a smile.

Journey here now ended

The universe her new home

She still touches our heart as

Stars fall softly from her soul.
