The embers of a twilight Still linger on my mind, Images cast gray shadows Against my eyelids. If I close them tightly I feel suddenly swept away. Looking through a kaleidoscope Of memories intertwined. Swirls and shards and pieces Of a time from yesterday Scattered like the dust With-in the light. I remember fondly How the moments in my mind Felt, as I slowly allow them Access to my waking thoughts There is one of when I was only three My grandfather and I upon his knee Coffee in the morning at the sturdy kitchen table He would sneak me cookies just below. My mother never knew Here comes the moment that I fell from the Bleachers at the gym I scraped my knee and had to go home Along floats another glimpse Of me and my first love Sitting talking and staring eye to eye In my ruffled wrinkled blue prom dress. He crushed his hand against the flowers on my chest. As he leaned in for the kiss. My first delight of motherhood This crying screaming bundle Placed upon my chest, As I stared into the bright lights And held her tightly…. But never felt more alone. If allow them to follow me I drift and shift around a sea of emotion, Then I wake to hear the sounds of the phone Back to work, It almost time to go home. . |
