Magpie Tales 31

I Saw


Framed within
weathered window panes
in the late afternoon
when shadows and light
toy with us—

filtered through a grotto
of trees reflected in glass;
I saw a veiled mother
awash in Kodachrome
as I imagined she might
appear to three children.

I like this a lot, Michael.

simple and elusive... what lies beyond the pane? interpretive to the three children, I imagine.

Beautiful. I love the weaving in of "grotto". Your three?

Thanks all...

Willow, the poem is making a vague reference to the apparition of Blessed Mother to three children in little village of Fatima.
