A touching tribute each stanza gives a different testament of the person that Maureen was and in her goodness her name will always be spoken and written about, so she is never gone just not here, RIP

From the opening line you felt the mystical and Celtic connection. You could picture tiny angles in the form of snow flakes coming down.

Very positive thoughts at difficult times. Nice tribute to a fellow poet. Good use of descriptive and metaphorical language, and imagery to convey your message. I have said a prayer for her, also. Faye

This is a simply lovely tribute to Maureen. The stardust metaphor is beautiful, all the heavenly images so touching. An important truth:
"...I wanted
so desperately to keep them,
yet I knew deep down that there
is nothing one can hold forever."

The entire poem is impressively well written, great general imagery, touching but not heavily sentimental or maudlin.

With love and blessings,
Jeanie Mercer

We'll done. We are all thinking of Maureen. I don't want to think of stardust just yet..I want her to be healthy and solidly on this terra firma..writing her exquisite verse ..
Thanks for this
