Triolet 🍀61 -Glorious Dust & Stars Above

Written by Carolyn Crossley VixenOfVerse

#triolet

You returned to glorious dust,
enriched the Spanish soil.
That was your legacy, a trust.
You returned to glorious dust
You helped red geraniums thrust
their beautiful flowers without toil.
You returned to glorious dust,
enriched the Spanish soil.

Your dust travelled into the sky
and far out in the atmosphere.
Not one of us would ask why
this dust travelled into the sky.
It returned to the stars, by and by
and now in the stars, I feel you near.
Your dust travelled into the sky
and far out in the atmosphere.

Memories, happy and sad, live in my heart.
Bound to me with a mother's love.
I loved you before your life's start,
memories, happy and sad, live in my heart.
Now I mourn that we are apart.
As I look up at the stars above,
memories, happy and sad, live in my heart.
Bound to me with a mother's love.
