Listening to every heart

Beth

Yesterday as my fingers
flitted and flew through
papers, and a glance
through the window
showed only gray skies…

Music in the background
overwhelmed me…
a scent came from nowhere,
and my Grandmother
Elizabeth
was       just      there.

Just beside me

No deep message

but
only I
felt my tears fall
under the suddenness
of a memory

just there….

My throat thickened
with emotion
and salty tears stung my eyes,
glistened my lips
and I sat, holding my breath

thinking…

I love you, too.

I second Lori's assessment of you thought, Karilea. Beautifully done.
