~Treasures In The Attic~ It was there, in that dreary place where I had never wanted to go hiding in the corner, covered in dust I found words I would come to know. I remember the day so vividly up the attic steps I did climb a treasure was found in the corner the day that I was introduced to rhyme. From that day on I would sit mesmerized by this precious gifting that I had found words of thought, written in form within worn out leather they were bound. I sat down in darkness of closed window put up the shades so that I could see and I became immersed within the poetry I could hear it softly whispering to me. I could see the words faded with time written right inside of the front cover it was then I saw the gracefulness of the woman I would have called my Mother. Could it have been a special present that she had knowingly left behind with the hopes that sometime, someday one of her daughters just might find? I don't know what led me into the attic or made me find the book of poetry, as though a mother calling through time... her way of giving a gift to me.... {revised 01-21-08} It's better than I could have planned, it's made me who I am.
