I know it's she
even though the photograph is dark
features dissembled
in motion and shadow.

I can see her face enough,
straining at her smile,
fists frantically
joyous. This is her life,

awakened into
unending sunshine.
What shape
informs me?

Nice Don! Thanks for sharing!

Was this inspired by one of you granddaughters? Or nieces?

[Don Schaeffer]

my first granddaughter, Hannah Zoe Sasaki Schaeffer. I have one other granddaughter and another grandchild on the way.

[Barbara G.]

Congrats on the granddaughter you have as well as the one on the way! I am sure grandchildren are fun!! I don't have any as of yet! :0)

The trouble is they live in different cities. I'm in NY. They are in Winnipeg and Vancouver. : {

Don,

I can see this as a challenge. Hopefully, you get to visit them from time to time.

It's money, Barbara. Anyway, thanks.
We Skype.
