Ohh such laughter once stirred from her fragile limbs creaking just so A step of toe in mask of night watching over four as they slept she had a garden botanical serenity her fortress a moat . . . beautiful within and out This is the only home I ever had Now the scent of baked apple pie no longer streams from window pain silence . . . the only sound Remnants of what once was and is no longer remain in each new burst of bulb with Spring and each drive by on wintry afternoon Sometimes she calls to me acoustic melody broken shards of concrete plaster heart the drive of a lifetime The pull from my chest leaves me breathless as I look and turn away I cannot help but see myself once standing inside her comforted by her embrace and that of those within She calls to me in my sleep to come home I am only able let escape silent whisper head bowed and solemn I reply "I cannot" |

A melancholy, reminiscent piece with a hard touch of "Socratic human query" asked and answered, almost simultaneously. Exceptional work, littlewing. CB 8) |
