twinkling eyes

seeing but not seeing 

i come to visit 

knowing you are not there

in the warmth of my memory

you reside happily

twinkling eyes teasing

  smile hiding behind the stern lips

erasing the line between life and death

the dance of souls continue in different plane

    Sigh...that last line is glorious Arathi....I absolutely love this poem. Our memory and our dreams are a place we have the opportunity to appreciate our loved one's twinkling eyes once more.

    the dance of souls continues...yes...
    and they are not there...but by the grave their memories linger....

    This is beautiful. I do truly hope that the dance of souls will continue and be even better than any dance that happened before the grave!

    Is this for Poetry Jam? There's no reference and the link brings you to your blog, not the specific poem that goes with the prompt.

    Lovely poem, Arathi. Memories of our dead are what keeps them alive in our soul.
