I'm sure this was a time when memories of the good times was about all you had left of your husband and you wanted those memories to remain intact. Stepping lightly is a nice way to put it.

Comment from Therese Caron
Excellent poem, step lightly on your memory is so profound. This is so well written, and very moving. I am going through those somber musings, and looking back a lot. Then I find myself realizing that it is not the best thing for me so I rally about! I truly enjoyed this poem. Thank you for sharing it.

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about the mixed emotions between how it was and how it is now. Although you know nothing will change or return to what was you have to keep being the happy wife and anchor.

Comment from Christy Mahon
I like the jete plie implication of both weight being shifted and the notion of grace being overlaid upon grief. Certainly the weight has been left upon your shoulders. Yes, and one needs to step lightly else the heavier, overwhelming emotions be brought up again. I also am able to particularly see the oak leaf shadows trembling. A well drawn image. I suspect it again reflects the inner fear of stirring up too many disturbing memories. Nicely poetic. More to business though, have you tried the "advanced editor" I think it's called. It might let you add the accent symbol you want? And also, if you don't know, when I plugged jete plie into my search engine it brought up your poem as one of the reports.

Comment from Jannypan (Jan)
Your poem is poignant, Marjon, although I enjoyed reading it. You have a great way of expressing your thoughts and feelings. I could see everything you wrote. I could feel the emotion of how you may have been feeling. I like the repeated line as it adds emphasis to the situation at hand.
Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan

Comment from amada
For sure I like the seet reminiscences of a time that was. IYou write beautiful and sentimental lines of an early morning day. My favorite line "Early sun enters the garden, scared, quivers at the mighty oak."

Comment from Suzanna Ray
Dear Marjon, The poem is quite fine, where I got lost was the connection to the Ballet.
The clattering noise generated by a dancer landing on the floor after executing any ballet step certainly would not step lightly on anybody's memory!

Suzanna, thanks for the review! And I wanted the ballet dancer's movements and steps symbolizing the lightness of the memory!
Comment from Cindy Decker
Marjon, this is a lovely poem of imagery and perception. I like the way you describe the oak tree, the early sun, and the ominous voices. The voices, along with the crows, are a kind of foreshadowing or omen in your writing. Excellent work!

Hi Marjon I can see that sometimes we play the outside sunniness game in hope that it will change the inside, but it's the other way around I'm afraid. There's a guy/girl contacting me from fanstory contacting me saying they are suicidal, and wanting to kill themselves, they're name is gunluo, I think, Pray for him, or sene him a message of encouragement please. or send a message of hope please. Great write, blessings, Roy
