This weathered clock, standing tall against the wall.
Waiting for the moment of your arrival,
the tick lingering before the soft gong.

Will you hear the softness of it’s sound
as I wistfully call out your name, letting
a tear gently fall as would the tropic rains.

I sit, often listening...wishing to hear
the whisper of your walk upon the cool
floor of night....might it come soon?

I have missed your prancing walk...the softness
of your voice, the devil's giggle before the fall
into the foamy softness of a pillow beneath
you....the thump that scurries the bunnies
in directions of skelter and helter...your smile...and more.

Times will pass ...visions will cross
the closed lid...and all will come to
be as it shall...

"Whatever will be, will be..." still so many little things we might not note when someone is with us are echoing reminders of them when they are absent.  I can feel the lilt of footsteps and laughter in this one, and the wist to hear it again.  A soft touch to this one...

Just one question...is it 'weathered lock" or "weathered clock" standing tall against the wall?  I was thinking of the old song, "My Grandfather's Clock."

Lovely Barry...as usual.
Another huge *sigh* I have collected thanks to reading you.
Although this was a slightly sad sigh.
Sending hugs your way.

Eloquently done Barry.....Some beautifl catchs in there.

This is a real twist but just a great picture...

Take care.....Sue
